Island snapped by astronaut
An astronaut aboard the International Space Station has wished the Isle of Man well – after taking a pic from orbit.
European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake was passing high overhead this morning when he caught a snap of the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
His picture, uploaded to Twitter this afternoon, has already been shared hundreds of times.
