NASA astronaut Scott Kelly is on his way back to Earth.
Kelly has completed a nearly yearlong mission on the International Space Station, the longest any U.S. astronaut has been in space. He’s set to come home on Tuesday, riding back to Earth on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. The spacecraft undocked from the station shortly after 8 p.m. ET.
