@Astro_Jeff's Photo Of San Francisco To Los Angeles From Space Is #Awesome

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) - Earthlings are delighted when they see themselves from space and astronaut Jeff Williams is dazzling us everyday with his photos, shot from the International Space Station.

His shot of Western USA -- from San Francisco all the way to Los Angeles -- under a crescent moon is amazing, as are all his #citiesfromspace.

Check out St. Louis, Chicago and Detroit.

This self-described astronaut, US Army Colonel, experimental test pilot, husband, father and grandfather has been living aboard the Space Station since March, as part of the Expedition 47 crew. It's his third time aboard the orbiting laboratory. After he completes this 6-month mission, he'll hold the American record for cumulative days in space -- 534 in all -- surpassing the current U.S. record-holder Scott Kelly.

His Twitter handle is @Astro_Jeff and he's racked up more than 44,000 followers, so far. Become one of them and never cease to be amazed.
