Another amazing capture from ESA astronaut André Kuipers, from his vantage point on the ISS. The Island of Texel, in the left of this image, and the strait between it and mainland Holland. André Kuipers has taken many images of his home nation during his time onboard the International Space Station.

André travelled to the orbital outpost in December 2011, and will remain in orbit for more than 6 months as part of ESA's long duration mission, PromISSe.
