Picture post: ISS is looking good - March 30, 2009

Both the NASA Watch and Bad Astronomy blogs are highlighting this new image of the International Space Station, released by NASA on 25 March.

Not wanting to miss out on the party, I thought I’d best join in. This picture shows the ISS, in NASA’s words, “backdropped by the blackness of space and the thin line of Earth’s atmosphere”.
