Thank you, Cmdr Hadfield!

Highlights from the man who tweeted in space.

His time has come to depart the International Space Station, sadly, so to send Cmdr Chris Hadfield, the man who tweets from space, on his way, we felt it was only right to put together a bumper summary of his time up there in the sky.

Ever wondered how they cleaned up spillages in space? Or how an astronaut sleeps? Hadfield was on hand to inform and enlighten us.

From his stunning pictures of the earth below, to his informative video clips, we’ve lost count of how many times the Canadian has left us astounded in the past few months.

But in an attempt to sum it all up, here’s our Top 10 Hadfield hits.

10 This stunning shot of Dublin back in January brought Cmdr Hadfield to our attention first day – even though he wasn’t too sure it was Dublin at the time

8 This nighttime snap of Ireland and the UK remains a favourite

7 His videos were always incredibly interesting – check out how he sleeps

6 The Berlin Wall might have fallen in 1989, but his shot of the German capital showed a clear divide still exists…in lampposts

5 What happens when there’s a spillage? Take a look below and find out

4 Away from Europe, there were spectacular shots from other parts of the world. Check this one out.

2 His most recent video clip, a fond farewell from the ISS, shows he’s got other talents too

1 Above all though, he stole our hearts by tweeting as Gaeilge

Tá Éire fíorálainn! Land of green hills and dark beer. With capital Dublin glowing in the Irish night. pic.twitter.com/djLZhn3f
