Astronauts have shared amazing space selfies taken 250 miles above Earth.
NASA's Jessica Meir and Chris Williams were pictured smiling in their spacesuits as they carried out a spacewalk outside the International Space Station on June 30.
The seven-hour-and-20-minute spacewalk was carried out to replace a malfunctioning wrist joint on the Canadarm2 robotic arm, which is used to move large equipment and capture cargo vehicles.
Expedition 74 flight engineer Meir posted on Thursday, July 2: "A few shots from this week’s spacewalk on the Space Station.
"Unfortunately, there was little time for photos, as we had our hands full of various parts of the Canadian Space Agency Canadarm2 most of the time, for good reason!
"Can’t beat Astro Chris Williams’ smile, inside or outside the ISS!"
