In space, no one can see you selfie.

Astronaut Mike Hopkins first brought the selfie to space last December with a personal snapshot high above Earth. But now fellow astronaut Steven R. Swanson has blasted the space selfie game into hyperdrive by uploading his photo to Instagram.

It's the first time a photo has been uploaded to Instagram in space. Swanson shared the photo from the International Space Station and the backdrop totally beats that time you posed in front of a graffiti-covered wall.

Yes, it's not technically a selfie -- someone else took the picture. Minor detail. It's in space, so who cares?
