iss074e0006008 (Dec. 12, 2025) --- The sun’s glint beams off the Atlantic Ocean, contrasting with southern Florida and a portion of the Bahamas (upper left) in this photograph taken from the International Space Station as it orbited 262 miles above the southeastern United States. In the bottom foreground is the Kibo laboratory module’s Exposed Facility, which hosts a variety of experiment payloads and other hardware exposed to the external microgravity environment. Extending from the top right of the frame is the Japanese robotic arm, which can maneuver payloads into and out of Kibo’s airlock for placement on the Exposed Facility.
