A Canadian astronaut who currently calls Earth’s orbit home offered the world a glimpse of Boston from space.

Chris Hadfield, who lives aboard ISS as Flight Engineer on Expedition 34, which is orbiting the earth, tweeted a picture of the city at 2:32 p.m. Saturday with the caption, “Boston on a misty February night.”

Hadfield is known for tweeting out photos of cities and landmarks, and also runs a website with videotaped experiments in space. Today he tweeted a picture of Croatia, and yesterday he put out a photograph of the Andes.
