Another unusual angle on Jersey from Astronaut Tim Peake

Sunday 21 February 2016

There’s a lot of beautiful photos of our lovely Island, but astronaut Tim Peake keeps coming up with shots from some unusual angles!

His latest is a video from the International Space Station that takes in Jersey and Britain as the ISS makes its regular 17,150 mph trip around the planet.

Tim Peake is a 43-year-old former helicopter pilot-turned astronaut who has been aboard the ISS since 15 December – he has already become the first Brit to ever perform a spacewalk outside of the ISS, and is due to spend six months in orbit.

Hi UK and @BBCRadio2 @simonmayo listeners, waving right back at you!https://t.co/wu1JFlRZ0p
