That’s no shooting star; it’s a spacecraft.

SpaceX’s Crew-3 astronaut mission’s return to Earth early Friday (May 6) was captured in epic photos as the crew wrapped up a half-year on the International Space Station.

Both NASA and SpaceX, which supplied Crew-3’s Dragon capsule for the agency, captured the streaking spacecraft high in the atmosphere in the minutes before the successful splashdown at 12:43 a.m. EDT (0443 GMT), 176 days after their mission began.

Th epic photos show a meteor-like vehicle moving fast through the atmosphere with four individuals on board: Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn and Kayla Barron, all of NASA, and Matthias Maurer with the European Space Agency (ESA).

In the minutes after splashdown, the four astronauts gave an enthusiastic “Hello” to Earth after recovery officials reached the spacecraft.

While it typically takes about a day of time on our planet to fully recover from each day in space, the astronauts should be able to resume many of their normal activities (such as showering, driving and exercising) in just a few weeks.
