Photo Of The Day: Chicago From The International Space Station

We can't get enough of the photos that Canadian astronaut Cmdr. Chris Hadfield is tweeting from the International Space Station. He posted the latest picture yesterday, and described it as "Chicago, a bright spot on the tip of Lake Michigan, glowing through the clouds."

Here's another great one, that shows O'Hare and the icy shore. Not only are his pictures beautiful, but he adds great (often hilarious) captions and provides geographical and historical context. Follow him @Cmdr_Hadfield.
