Blink and you’ll miss it.

It’s been a while since Chris Hadfield used to spoil us with images and videos of Ireland from the International Space Station (ISS), but this latest footage from astronaut Tim Peake isn’t half bad. Peake recorded a timelapse of a flight over Ireland, the UK and Northern Europe from the space station and posted it on his Twitter account earlier this week. Ireland appears right at the very start as the camera pans over the UK and over towards Scandinavia; Europe all lit up at night makes for quite a sight. https://twitter.com/astro_timpeake/status/699642269498888192
