Astronaut Reid Wiseman of the International Space Station posted a wicked cool view of Boston from his 800 milimeter lens camera on Labor Day, the latest in a line of impressive images of the city from outer space.

Heres the photo in question from Wisemans Twitter account (a must-follow, by the way).

Its a stunningly crystal clear picture of Boston. In the lower-left section, Logan Airports long runways are clearly visible. Boston Common stands out as a green oasis in the center of downtown, and bodies of water of Pleasure Bay, the Inner Harbor, and Fort Point are evident from afar.

The image is Wisemans first of Boston since he boarded the ISS in May. The photo joins a sizable group of images of Boston from outer space, conveniently organized by location on this map.

Previous pictures of Boston largely came from former ISS Commander Chris Hadfield in 2013. In particular, one post amid the Boston Marathon bombings was widely shared.

Hadfield had previously posted other images of the city, too, including posts in January and February 2013.
