The light from an orbital sunrise refracts through a window inside the International Space Station
iss073e0299808 (June 13, 2025) --- The light from an orbital sunrise refracts through a window inside the International Space Station's "window to the world," the cupola. At bottom, a portion of the orbital outpost's U.S. segment is illuminated including the SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft docked to the Harmony module's forward port. The station was soaring 259 miles above the Republic of Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean at approximately 3:40 a.m. local time when this photograph was taken.
