ASTRONAUGHT Chris Hadfield, who became the first Canadian to walk in space, has been using social networking site Twitter to send back pictures of Earth as we’ve never seen it before.
Using a mixture of state of the art software and hi-tech satellite images, the pictures Chris has been relaying since March are more akin to something you’d find in the Museum of Modern Art with some of the world’s most famous landmarks apeearing completely unrecognisable.
Chris, 53, has been commander of Expedition 35 aboard the International Space Station since January.
Not content with being a pioneering astronaut and budding photographer, Hadfield used his spare time to put together the first ever album to be recorded in space using a variety of special instruments.
His cover version of David Bowie's Space Oddity has become an international web hit.
