Natalie Meilinger, a mom from Chicago says she's addicted to watching her baby monitor not because she could keep her sons from climbing the furniture, but because the monitor is showing live, streaming images from space.

According to Meilinger, her baby monitor is showing a live video feed from the space shuttle Atlantis, currently in orbit docked to the International Space Station, and has been showing the images since Sunday.

Meilinger said the images first appeared when she checked on her 3-month-old son. When she contacted the monitor's manufacturer, the company representatives said they'd never heard of anything like it.

"People thought I was crazy," she told the Aero News.

Officials at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) say they don't know why the monitor is picking up the signal, but they do say that it is the same signal used for public broadcast on the NASA website.
