Even though he’s back on earth, Commander Chris Hadfield still has a few tricks up his sleeve.
He just tweeted the ultimate Selfie, a man floating between the earth and the sun:
Good morning! Some selfies are more thought-provoking than others. Amazing what you can see in the reflection. pic.twitter.com/Z39tadWK1W

I am going to miss the amazing videos from Commander Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut who streamed his odd missives from the International Space Station with an earthiness that was both hilarious and informative.
Many of his videos are practical demonstrations about the reality of our physical bodies meeting a gravity-free environment like space. Watching these videos will change your perspective of gravity.
Hadfield’s experiments create a visceral understanding of the fact that everything we do from moving to eating and everything we experience around us is in a complex dance with gravity. Our very existence depends on gravity.
What better way to show it than to wring out a wash cloth in space?
Hadfield demonstrates crying in space:
Chris carries out student experiment by wringing out a wash cloth in space then waxes philosphical:
Chris talks about “space vision” and testing eyeballs in space:
Hadfield talks to William Shatner AKA Captain James T. Kirk:
