He was essential for SpaceX's subsequent full team to the space station — a mission called Crew-2.

His crewmates were NASA space travelers Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, and Japanese space traveler Akihiko Hoshide.

The Crew-2 space travelers boarded SpaceX's Crew Dragon spaceship and undocked from the ISS on November 7.

Pesquet filled in as ISS leader for the last month of his spaceflight.

The following day, they dove to a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.

Pesquet was "essentially the assigned proficient picture taker of this mission," SpaceX engineer Kate Tice said on a livestream, as the Crew Dragon moved in an opposite direction from the ISS.

During his time in space, Pesquet took more than 245,000 photographs from around 250 miles over the Earth.

"I believe there's an excessive number of pictures," Pesquet said in a NASA Q&A on Monday.

On one of Pesquet's last days in space, the ISS hovered over an exceptionally dynamic, colorful aurora borealis, set off by a colossal explosion of particles from the sun.

"We flew directly over the focal point of the ring, fast waves and heartbeats everywhere," Pesquet composed when he shared the photograph. A portion of the aurora's spikes reach higher than the space station, he added.

"We've been treated for certain unimaginable auroras," Pesquet said during the Q&A. "It's miserable, in light of the fact that the photos simply don't do them equity."

Pesquet said he saw around 15 to 20 occurrences of the aurora during the mission.

Story proceeds

Auroras are only one instance of staggering perspectives Pesquet and his crewmates delighted in as they circled Earth.

Among Pesquet's cherished subjects is the thing that he calls "crop craftsmanship" — the beautiful math of horticultural fields.

Rural regions can make excellent examples. While it's difficult to nail down precise areas from space, Pesquet said these homesteads in the desert are some place on the African mainland.

"I like how something imaginative now and then emerges from an exceptionally viable reason," Pesquet composed when he shared this photograph via online media.

"Circles, squares, (salt) mines and water system are not intended to be pretty from very close, however they astonish us from a higher place and at a goliath scale," he added.

In certain spots, similar to Bolivia, beautiful examples — and the harvests developing inside them — are because of the getting free from tropical woodlands.

Be that as it may, normal scenes make brilliant examples, as well.

Australia has especially sensational regular developments, similar to these salt lakes.

Since the space station circles Earth at regular intervals, space explorers see 16 dawns and nightfalls each day. However, not every one of the sights are excellent.

"We see the contamination of streams, air contamination, things like that," Pesquet told French President Emmanuel Macron on November 4.
