This snapshot crisply captures the station's newly-expanded silhouette: solar wings almost as wide as football field, a science lab the size of a Greyhound bus (Kibo), and three docked spaceships from Europe (Jules Verne) and Russia (Progress 29 and Soyuz TMA-12). Add them all together and you have one beautiful sunspot.

Isn't that something? Lovely.
That's a hell of a capture for an astrophotographer!
