NASA Astronaut Shares Image of Twin Cities from Space

This is something you don't see every morning. On Friday, United States Army officer and a NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough was excited to share an image of the Twin Cities from the International Space Station as he and his colleges orbit the Earth.

Visible in the image are not only are the Twin Cities but also the surrounding towns, including Northfield (south) and Stillwater (east), and Rochester (southeast).

Check out Minnesota Public Radio's annotated version of the photo.
