When he wasn’t busy using a toothbrush to fix the International Space Station on his recent spacewalk, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Aki Hoshide snapped a self-portrait that didn’t reveal his face, but captured a whole lot more. In addition to himself and the sun behind him, Hoshide managed to photograph the ISS, Earth, and his fellow toothbrush hero Sunita Williams in the reflection of his helmet.
