Reid Wiseman's Photos From Space

Here's your chance to see Earth from an angle that few humans have witnessed firsthand.

Astronauts Reid Wiseman and Alexander Gerst are currently aboard the International Space Station, but they haven't been keeping their incredible view of our planet to themselves. Instead, they're regularly posting images to their social media accounts to share with followers, much like astronauts Karen Nyberg and Chris Hadfield did before them.

You'll see, in the slideshow above, that some of their images show the majesty of our incredible planet, while others show fierce natural disasters in action, like tropical systems, wildfires or even wars.

Be sure to follow Wiseman and Gerst on Twitter for daily pictures of these two astronauts looking at us from miles above the Earth's surface.
