When Commander Chris Hadfield hung up his space boots for the last time many of us feared that we may never see Ireland from the clouds above ever again. Fret not photo-happy-space-lovers out there, Houston, we have Instagram… sort of.
Move over Hadfield, there’s a new astronaut in town with a camera, and thankfully, he ain’t afraid to use it.
Reid Wiseman has decided to fill the Canadian’s space boots and just a few moments ago shared a truly remarkable image of our fair isle on Twitter.
Hello Ireland, been waiting to see you pic.twitter.com/MVI1SczDqn

Last year, Hadfield earned himself several thousand fans across the globe when he began live tweeting some wonderful pictures from onboard the ISS.
Judging from this image, Wiseman promises more of the same photographic gold, and quite frankly – we’re delighted! *Retweet and favourite*
It is still impossible to wrap my head around the view. Just saw every place I’ve ever lived in 10 minutes.
