BESTSELLER and WINNER OF THE NON-FICTION BOOK OF
THE YEAR AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS

The first book by astronaut Tim Peake - a mesmerising collection of

over 150 of Tim's stunning photographs that he took on board the
International Space Station, many of which have not been seen
before. Includes a personal commentary from Tim.

'It's impossible to look down on Earth from space and not be

mesmerised by the fragile beauty of our planet.'

I may have been 400km up, but I have never felt closer to Earth than
when I was on board the International Space Station.

I'm delighted to share with you this collection of photographs with

some of my thoughts from my mission. Although I briefly left the
santuary of our planet, I rediscovered the wonder of the place we
call home.

Hello, is this planet Earth? takes readers on a mesmerizing tour of

Tim's historic and inspirational six-month Principia mission. Based
on over 150 of Tim's stunning photographs that he took on board the
international space station, many of which have not been seen
before, this lavish collection showcases the beauty of earth from
above, and is the perfect visual time capsule of Tim's remarkable
trip, which captured the imaginations of millions of children and
adults across the world.

The book can be enjoyed by readers of all ages, and comes with a
 personal commentary from Tim, full of his characteristic warmth
and charm. The book includes breath-taking aerial photos of cities
illuminated at night, the northern lights and unforgettable vistas of
oceans, mountains and deserts. The title of the book is inspired by
Tim's famous 'wrong number' dialled from space, when he
accidentally misdialled a woman from the space station and
inquired, 'Hello, is this planet Earth?'

During his mission, Tim conducted numerous ground-breaking

science experiments and engaged the British public in ingenious
ways. Tim became the first British astronaut to complete a
spacewalk and the first person to run the London marathon in space.
He spoke to hundreds of thousands of school children back on earth
via events such as the Cosmic Classroom live from the ISS,
engaging over 1 million children during the whole mission. He was
also involved in other memorable events, such as presenting the
BRIT Awards live from space in a dinner jacket. 24 million people
watched Tim blast off and over 2 million fans continue to follow his
updates across social media.In the Queen's birthday honours, Tim
was made a companion of the order of St Michael and St George, an
award given to those who have given distinguished service overseas,
or, in Tim's case, in space.
