Astronaut Scott Kelly spent a record-breaking year on the International Space Station in the name of science, but it was his beautiful photography that stole the show. Now the Year In Space is over, Kelly is back on the ground, and his Instagram feed is quite different. Luckily, there’s still at least one great photographer onboard the ISS. UK astronaut Tim Peake is giving Kelly a run for his money.

When he isn’t working on scientific projects or attending to the duties of the International Space Station, Peake seems to be having a good time, presenting awards to Adele, training for the London Marathon and capturing some truly amazing photos and videos of Earth.

Here are some of Peake’s most amazing pictures so far.
