MSP from the space station

It’s been a long time since we’ve gotten a daytime view of ourselves from the International Space Station. That wait ended this afternoon when astronaut Rick Mastracchio posted this image to his Twitter feed of Minneapolis St. Paul in all of its “why would anyone want to live on this planet” glory.

It’s not clear, though, when he took the picture. The space station hasn’t been over Minnesota during the day all week.
