Stunning Snapshots from Space Courtesy of Reid Wiseman

On May 28 the crew of Expedition 40/41 launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, their Soyuz TMA-13M arriving at the International Space Station about eight and a half hours later. And it didn't take much time for the newly-arrived NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman to start taking photos from his new vantage point in orbit and sharing them on Twitter for the rest of us to enjoy! Here are some of Reid's latest images from the edge of space, looking down on the beautiful blue world we call home.

See these photos (and more as they are taken!) on Reid Wiseman's Twitter feed, and learn more about Expedition 40 here.
