Views from Space


The newly installed cupola (above) on the International Space Station provides the astronauts with a window onto the Earth below them. The new viewing station was launched in February on space shuttle mission STS-130 and attached to the Tranquility module.

If you want to see what the view is like from inside the cupola, this photo should give you a good idea. Astronaut Soichi Noguchi has been shooting amazing photos from that perch, which he regularly posts to Twitter.
