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. <\/p>\n
Heres the photo in question from Wisemans Twitter account (a must-follow, by the way). <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Hadfield had previously posted other images of the city, too, including posts in January and February 2013. <\/p>\n
