US NASA ASTRONAUT Douglas H Wheelock and Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi have been capturing incredible photos of the Earth from space as they travel on board the International Space Station.
Wheelock, who is still on board the ISS, has been publishing them via his @Astro_Wheels twitter feed, and Noguchi on his @Astro_Soichi account.
Noguchi was on the ISS from December 2009 until June 2010.
TheJournal.ie has put together a collection of those images below. The astronauts’ accompanying twitter messages provide some background information on each photo.

Hardly news worthy
It is actually. It teaches us all a lesson. Investigate before jumping to conclusions. Great that the guy was apologetic and accepting of his error. We can all learn…….
Wouldn’t want to be in a rush
@JoeyJoeJoeJrShabadoo: guards coming to a train in 40 minutes is fast, they usually take over an hour from experience.
@Paul: why not let the train go on time and take the guy with the problem off the train to report the problem, it is hardly a murder. Why does everyone have to pay for one stupid guy on the train?
“BATHROOM” on a Irish rail train???
‘Jacks’ ‘Cazey’ ‘Loo” Yea But ” Bathroom”
What have I been missing????
Hold the passengers hostage until someone confesses to something, anything at all.
Couldn’t tell my left from my right lol
@Anastasia: one with the watch
@Tony Gordon: Seriously I ware it on the left hand
What a plonker.
“Anti-social behaviour”? Down with that sort of thing
Wonder if the incident happened at all. This train is regularly delayed due to this excuse. Probably like those bridges that get hit by trucks causing trains to be cancelled, yet the bridge is in perfect working order 20 minutes later..
@iMoan Brutal:
when a bridge gets struck it has to be inspected by engineers before it can be used .
@the truth: yes but most of the time there was no truck stuck or a truck anywhere near the bridge, just a train drive who slept in or taking an extended lunch. But recently they’ve stopped being stupid enough to name the location of the fake bridge hit
@Jayo Breathneach: Your right most probably true in some cases, but the amount of times its the reason on this specific route doesn’t add up, someones telling porkies either way
Why can’t the Guards pick up footage once train reaches its destination? Ridiculous delaying an entire train, all its passengers and rest of the network over a possibly stolen bag
Mis-carriage of justice ;)
No staff on board thought to check the carriages ? No need for the train to be delayed that long
@Suzie Sunshine: that would probably beagainst union rules
@James Brown: its making trains one person operated its company policy nothing to do with union rules
@the truth: Inter City trains have at least two or three staff on board.
@Neal, not Neil.: not all have trains out of heuston yes not all Services out of connolly have and the train in question is one man operated from connolly.
shouldn’t have left his luggage unattended in the first place
he said he seen a fella walking off with it so hes stupid and a lying hoor.
@the truth: that’s the problem with “eyewitnesses ” sure didn’t some Irish tourist in medugorje see Madeline Mccann and heard her speak in english it turned out she was some croatian kid without a word of English
@iMoan Brutal: The bridges are fine because they’ve been checked by engineers to be structurally sound before the trains pass over it again ya mong! Maybe Irish Rail should just ignore all safety procedures just to stop you from whining? Jesus……
Fake news turns out to be true….
Bathroom? Was he having a bath? Are we all Americans now? Does the word toilet offend people?
What an idiot seriously
have your say
