Hi, I'm Martin with your Saturday news update.

:00:00.:00:00.

Coming up - all the latest pictures as British astronaut Tim Peake

:00:00.:00:08.

touches down back on earth after six months in space.

:00:09.:00:11.

At 10:15 this morning, British astronaut Tim Peake touched

:00:12.:00:27.

down on earth after spending six months living in space on board

:00:28.:00:30.

Let's take a look at the moment he arrived.

:00:31.:00:35.

In these pictures we can see the soyuz capsule,

:00:36.:00:38.

with its parachute open, approaching the earth.

:00:39.:00:41.

It landed safely just behind that hill.

:00:42.:00:44.

Because he's been weightless in space for the last six months,

:00:45.:00:50.

the feeling of gravity would have been quite a shock on his body

:00:51.:00:53.

so Tim was carried out of the capsule.

:00:54.:00:57.

Speaking to reporters, Tim said that one of the first

:00:58.:01:00.

things he noticed was that Earth smells really strongly!

:01:01.:01:02.

Here he is making a call to his family, letting them

:01:03.:01:06.

Tim will now go off and get used to life back on Earth.

:01:07.:01:11.

He said the thing he's looking forward to most is pizza.

:01:12.:01:13.

So at least we know what's on the menu tonight!

BBC reporter Geeta Pense has been there for Newsround.

:01:22.:01:31.

Because it was going at such a high speed, I thought it was going to

:01:32.:01:36.

crash but then I realised there were thrusters on the bottom to weigh it

:01:37.:01:40.

down and then it landed safely. Quite nerve wracking because we

:01:41.:01:44.

didn't know what would happen. Me and my mum had been following him on

His main task has been to carry out science experiments but he's managed

:02:31.:02:35.

to squeeze in quite a lot of other things too.

:02:36.:02:37.

From drinking water bubbles to making scrambled eggs in packets,

:02:38.:02:40.

Tim showed us all how to eat and drink in space.

:02:41.:02:44.

He even decided to answer the question everyone was wondering
