There’s not a lot of downtime for the astronauts on the International Space Station. When they’re not busy running scientific experiments, they’re getting in some exercise or doing space walks. But luckily for the earthbound, they make time to snap gorgeous photos of our planet in a way we’d otherwise never get to see them, and then post those photos on Twitter.
Now, all of those photos from ISS Expeditions 40 and 41 have been catalogued into one interactive map—created by Dave MacLean of Nova Scotia’s Centre of Geographic Sciences—that allows users to easily find the photos, look at them, and discover if astronauts have snapped a space photo of their hometowns.
