While the world chanted 'May The 4th Be With You' in the memory of legendary movie Star wars, a five-year-old girl suffering from cancer received health tips from 'out of the world' when British astronaut Tim Peake told her tales of isolation on a special video call from the International Space Station.
Mr Peake also told Maddison Webb, who is recovering after a bone marrow transplant to treat her acute lymphocytic leukaemia, about the need for restricted diets.
The patient at the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) received the long distance call of a lifetime when Mr Peake took time out of his day on board the International Space Station (ISS) to speak to her in her isolation room at the hospital.
