Sunglint illuminating the waters of the Chesapeake Bay! On July 21, 2016, Expedition 48 Commander Jeff Williams (@astro_jeffw) aboard the International Space Station (@ISS) shared this photograph and wrote, "Morning passing over the Chesapeake Bay heading across the Atlantic." The International 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.
