You may as well stop posting to Instagram. The International Space Station (ISS) just dropped the mic.

The first picture posted from space was this pretty epic selfie...

That's astronaut Steven Swanson giving us his cheesiest best.

And then they went and topped it with this stunning view of the Northern Lights...

So, no pressure then picture posters.

Still, they've a long way to go before they can rival the Twitter masterclass that we got from Commander Chris Hadfield...
