Self-portrait with planets, by Space Shuttle astronaut



Here is an Escheresque self portrait by Space Shuttle crew member Steve Robinson.
Link. The hi-res is even freakier. Link. (Thanks, Scott Matthews)

Update: An anonymous reader says,

My friend Todd is the safety engineer that certified that camera for use about a year ago. NASA sent a couple of them up to snap photos of the shuttle as it approaced the ISS. It is a Kodak DCS 760. I just thought it'd be appropriate to tell you what it is. He's sent some amazing photos taken with that camera.
