These photos might make you wish you had fulfilled that childhood dream of being an astronaut after all. Scott Kelly has been chilling up in space since March, and even though he’s seemingly lightyears away he’s been using social media to stay in touch with other earthlings. The commander of the International Space Station is currently seven months into a year-long mission, and over the last day he’s shared a series of incredible photos of his view of Australia. Taken from a vantage point of 400km above, the images look like abstract works of art ripped right off a gallery wall. The country’s rivers, sand dunes and salt lakes have been captured in stunning detail, all texture and colour. Thank god for Instagram, right?A photo posted by Scott Kelly (@stationcdrkelly) on Oct 12, 2015 at 9:42am PDT
