Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are taking sightseeing to new heights.
In the video above, viewers are invited to join Expedition 38 crew members Mike Hopkins and Rick Mastracchio as they pick out various cities on the planet's slowly spinning surface.
The footage was taken from the station's Cupola, a multi-windowed observation module that's a favorite spot for astronauts.
