The spacewalk selfie comes only a day after NASA encouraged Earth-bound Twitter followers to celebrate Earth Day with "#GlobalSelfies"
Rich Mastracchio has snapped the selfie to end all selfies.
The NASA astronaut was out on a spacewalk with crew member Steve Swanson to replace a backup computer box on the International Space Station when he decided to take a photo.
"The space suit makes it very difficult to get a good selfie. I tried several today," Mastracchio said of the photo.
