APOD 2.5

Seeing yourself in a car window or a shiny piece of scrap metal may cause a laughable moment or maybe even an inspirational one such as this one. Astronaut Michael Fossum took this self-portrait with fellow space-walker Piers Sellers on July 8, 2009. You can see a blue Earth and one of the gold-tinted solar arrays in the background. In a generation where "selfies" are ever growing in popularity and use, it seemed like an appropriate post.
