BOSTON, Massachusetts — Caribou native Jessica Meir got nostalgic on Twitter Thursday night, sharing photos and memories of Boston from space.

In her tweet, Meir said she received the call that launched her NASA career while working at MassGeneral Department of Medicine and Harvard Medical School.
