LONDON -- There are obviously a lot of cool things about being on the International Space Station, but one of the greatest perks has got to be the views.
British astronaut Tim Peake, who has been on the International Space Station since December 2015, clearly knows this. Alongside the 265 experiments he's been carrying out while on the ISS, he's been documenting the Earth with hundreds of beautiful aerial photos.
To celebrate Tim Peake's return to Earth this weekend, Esri has mapped the many pictures he's taken over the course of the last six months.
