We really do live in the most beautiful place on earth… Tim Peake, an astronaut living & working on the International Space Station snapped this pic & uploaded it a couple of hours ago.
Tim is a European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut of British nationality. He is currently living and working on the International Space Station for Expedition 46/47. Tim has a background as a test pilot and a British Army Air Corps officer.
He apparently took the photo yesterday but uploaded it to Facebook a couple of hours ago.
“Lovely pass-by South Africa yesterday – still in awe of Eddie Izzard running 27 marathons across that stretch of land!”
He moved into the space station in December 2015 after years of training & was the first British ESA astronaut to ever visit the Space Station.
His journey is incredibly interesting & he posts updates often. Here’s some of our favourites…
