This week, three Expedition 47 crew members completed their six-month-long mission aboard the International Space Station and along with collecting a lot of crucial data for scientific and planetary analysis, they also captured the space in its unbeatable beauty. Tim Peake, the first British astronaut to be on the ISS, posted some of the most intriguing photos of the Earth from space and here is a collection of the best photos:
