Astronaut Scott Kelly is back on Earth after spending a whopping 340 days on the International Space Station. The “Year in Space” mission came to a close after a successful landing took place March 2 in Kazakhstan.

After things settle down, Scott Kelly’s physiology will be compared to those of his earthbound identical twin, retired astronaut Mark Kelly. The information yielded could prove to be invaluable on future long-term space missions.
