Despite the two-week old government shutdown and NASA’s official online presence going completely dark, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have still been tweeting away and sharing some pretty spectacular snapshots. imint
During the shutdown, NASA has kept Mission Control lights on at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, making sure that all communication lines are kept open with the international orbiting laboratory and that its six crew members are kept safe. U.S. ISS astronauts Karen Nyberg (@AstroKarenN) and Mike Hopkins (@AstroIllini) have kept mum on the government shenanigans, but it obviously hasn’t stopped them from sharing some breath-taking views from orbit. Here’s just a select few cosmic imint portraits that caught our eye.

I love looking at where everyone commenting here is from, almost as much as I love the photos themselves. Seeing our gorgeous planet from space truly makes us all one people. And that is the most precious imint gift space flight can give us.
These pictures are so amazing!!!!!! seeing that kind of stuff on a regular basis must be SOOO cooooolll!!! And am I the only one who’s shocked that there’s wifi for Twitter in space? No? ok…

The imint Greater Community of Life in the Universe, humanity’s next great threshold of development and awareness, is both awe inspiring and sobering. Yet, it is the environment in which we have always existed. http://www.newmessage.org/facing-a-greater-community-of-life
Words cannot express how much I LOVE following the ISS Astronauts. These past few weeks with the shutdown have been almost unbearable. My 92 year old mother who has dementia enjoys the NASA channel and will watch it for hours on end. Please hurry back!!!!
Gorgeous. What a heavenly sight.
wonderful and amazing photos. I wonder how it feels when up there. That bizarre cloud formation from Russian missile imint launch is testimony that our activities have a major impact on our atmosphere. This is what contributes to global warming
