Sputnik's team has put together a photo gallery especially for you to get a glimpse of the best pictures taken by Russian cosmonauts in October that captured the marvels of our planet and outer space.
In the gallery, you will see what some of our planet's landscapes look like from orbit. If you want to look even further, take a virtual trip to our only natural satellite the Moon, or our red-hued neighbour Mars, or dive even deeper into the vast universe to marvel at faraway galaxies and nebulae.
