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.

Astronaut Tim Peake filmed this gorgeous view of Earth from space. The short clip shows what the Arabian sea looks like from the International Space Station. If Peake had wanted to record the station's entire orbit around the Earth, the video would be 90 minutes long--about the same length as a feature-length movie.
