We may not know for sure about extraterrestrial life just yet. However, astronauts have now seen a Space Invader, and we've got the photos to prove it.

Of course, the Space Invader logo only looks like a cute, little alien creature that resembles the 8-bit life forms in the classic arcade game Space Invaders. The symbol is actually the trademark of the elusive French street artist that goes by the name Invader and who no one really knows the true identity of.

Now that Invader, whose work can be found on buildings and street corners in more than 60 cities around the world, has taken over the terrestrial streets, he — or she — has gone out of this world. A new Space Invader art installation called Space2 has finally been installed in the International Space Station. By the looks of these photos, the mini-mosaic seems to fit in quite nicely with all the space stuff, don't you think?

This installation has actually been months in the making. The mosaic was placed on the European spaceship ATV-5 on July 29, 2014, where it remained in zero gravity in the International Space Station for months. Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti just transferred the mosaic to its spot in the Columbus module of the International Space Station. Invader sounded elated about the work now living among the stars in this message posted on the artist's website:

"I would have never imagined that my Space Invaders project might take me that high. What looked like an unrreachable dream has come true as Space2 is the first space invader ever installed on a spaceship among real astronauts living in zero gravity and with Earth and the universe as a background ! Art, Science, space conquest : a great move !"

However, this actually isn't the first time Invader's work has been launched into space. For the arist's Space1 installation in 2012, Invader launched a mosaic into the stratosphere using a weather balloon, becoming the first artist to ever have a piece of work displayed that high above the earth's surface. Invader's work has also been spotted at ESA centers in Cologne, Germany and Redu Belgium. Other Space Invader sightings are expected throughout the year.

Man, the name "Space Invader" is just becoming more and more accurate, isn't it?
