City lights of Europe illuminate the International Space Station (@ISS) as it flies past. This image was captured by an astronaut aboard the orbiting laboratory. The space station serves as the world's leading laboratory for conducting cutting-edge microgravity research, and is the primary platform for technology development and testing in space to enable human and robotic exploration of destinations beyond low-Earth orbit, including asteroids and Mars.
