Sicily, as seen from the ISS by Luca Parmitano

ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano has been settling into life onboard the ISS, but still finding the time to tweet some of the amazing sights he is seeing from the orbital outpost.

 

Most recently, Luca spotted the island of Sicily in the Mediterranean sea. In this image, North is to the right, with the tip of Italy's 'boot', Calabria, visible in the bottom right.

 

For much more from Luca during his stay on the ISS, be sure to follow @astro_luca on Twitter, and check out the dedicated Flickr photostream for his mission Volare.
