Expedition 42
Explanation:
Some prefer
windows, and these are the best available on board the
International Space Station.
Taken on January 4,
this snapshot
from inside the
station's large, seven-window Cupola module also shows off a
workstation for
controlling Canadarm2.
Used to grapple visiting cargo vehicles and assist
astronauts during spacewalks, the robotic arm is
just outside the window at the right.
The Cupola
itself is attached to the
Earth-facing or nadir port of the station's Tranquility
module, offering
dynamic panoramas of our fair planet.
Seen from the station's 90 minute long, 400 kilometer high orbit,
Earth's bright limb is in view above center.
