During his time up there he’s conducted multiple spacewalks, taken selfies lit by the glow of the Earth, and eaten some pretty grim looking space tacos.

So, as you can imagine, his Instagram and Twitter feed are about as spectacular as it gets and they gave us a stunningly beautiful perspective of our world on a daily basis.

So here’s a selection of some of Scott’s absolutely out of this world photos:
