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.

某些人喜歡窗外的美景，而國際空間站上最好的窗戶就在大型七窗的“圓頂”（Cupola）模組內。這張於1月4日拍攝的照片展示了控制加拿大臂（Canadarm2）的工作站。這個機械臂在窗口的右側，主要用來抓取到訪的貨運飛船，並協助宇航員在太空行走時的工作。“圓頂”模組連接在空間站的“寧靜”模組（Tranquility）的面向地球（nadir）端口，讓人們欣賞到地球的壯麗全景。在空間站的90分鐘高空、400公里軌道上，地球的耀眼邊緣在畫面中央展現。
