8 INCREDIBLE PHOTOS BY ASTRONAUT TIM PEAKE

British astronaut Tim Peake has been aboard the International Space Station (ISS) since December 15th. He has been uploading plenty of videos and photos online (from space, which is pretty mind blowing in itself right?!). You can follow him on Instagram here. From space-selfies to photos of aurora borealis, here are 8 of our faves!

#aurora pic of the day - I love the reflection in the ISS panel. Good morning planet Earth! #Principia
