In what is terrible news for his many Irish fans, today is Chris Hadfield’s last day on the International Space Station. But boy has he given us some brilliant mementoes over the last few months.
It’s incredibly selfish, of course, to say that it’s terrible that Chris is coming home; no doubt he’s dying to see his family and he is well deserving of some time off, but we’re going to miss the wonderful and breathtaking images and videos he’s provided us with from above in the last few months.
Chris took spectacular images from all over the world during his time on the International Space Station, but he had a particular soft spot for Ireland and weren’t we glad because he provided us with some wonderful images of nearly every part of the country via his Twitter account, some of the best of which you can revisit again below.
Have a safe trip, Commander Hadfield.
Spot Fungi if you can
The northern lights thrown in for good measure
Our nations’s capital. Look closely and you can spot the M50
Silhouetted in the sun
There’s a storm a comin’
