Tim Peake snapped an amazing picture of the Grand Canyon earlier today as the International Space Station passed overhead. The Colorado River is a blue ribbon in the middle of a desert.
Hard to appreciate from space that the Grand Canyon is over a mile deep https://t.co/dqhcD3D39o pic.twitter.com/ta42doDnpy

As Peake points out, the sense of scale with this feature is incredible, especially when you realise how deep the Canyon is, and how impressive it is from orbit.
