This picture was taken by a @Raspberry_Pi computer that was in Cambridge just a few months ago and is now on the @Space_Station 🤯🤯🤯
And you (young people) can write code that will run on this computer in space. astro-pi.org/
Drumroll please! It's our first Earth observation shot! Taken by the new visible light camera through a nadir window on the @Space_Station. Can you work out where it is from the Lat & Long shown?

The Red House girls have thrown the most wonderful flower power themed tea party this afternoon. Guests were treated to 'groovy' homemade treats, Dance, Drama and Choir performances, and the girls' poem recitals and comedy show really were the icing on the (Victoria Sponge) cake!
