CHICAGO (CBS) -- Astronaut Scott Kelly admits he is a fan of the Houston Texans, but on Sunday morning he was following the Chicago Bears from space.

Kelly is spending a year on the International Space Station and has been tweeting hundreds spectacular pictures of his view from about 250 miles above the Earth.

On Sunday, he declared his new hobby of posting a picture of a NFL stadium on Sunday.

His first picture, tweeted this past Sunday morning, was of Soldier Field.
