Jackie Robinson remembered in outer space by astronaut Terry Virts

Wednesday is Jackie Robinson Day, when every player in MLB wears No. 42 and Robinson is honored as a baseball trailblazer. While we're used to seeing Robinson remembered on the field every April 15, he's also being honored in one place we've never seen before.
And it's not so much a baseball field as it is an entire galaxy.

Yep, that's Terry Virts, the commander of NASA's Expedition 43 aboard the International Space Station. He's an avid baseball fan (he lists it as an interest before astronomy on his official NASA bio). The floating baseball is a nice touch.
