This photo was taken by Michael Fossum on July 8, 2006. It is a self-portrait that Fossum took while Discovery space shuttle was docked at the International Space Station. Also seen in this picture is fellow astronaut Piers Sellers. You can see in the reflection in his helmet planet Earth in the background. I found this picture really cool because I used to want to be an astronaut when I was younger and I wanted to go in to space on a Space Shuttle. The 'selfie' taken by this astronaut shows how the Earth seems so little when you are up in space, and it makes Space travel seem so interesting and amazing.
