Missing NASA astronaut Scott Kelly’s stunning images from space?
British Astronaut Tim Peake has quickly filled the Twitterverse’s need for space photos with images of Earth taken from aboard the International Space Station.
Peake, a former British army major, became the first Briton to visit the space station in December of 2015. He’s currently on the last leg of a six-month mission in space.
He’s already had quite a trip, “running” the London marathon, and dialing a wrong number from space.
Like Kelly, Peake has been prolific on social media while aboard the ISS.
Here are a few of the breath-taking images he’s taken aboard the space station:
