The View from Up Top<br />
A low pressure system in the eastern North Pacific Ocean is featured in this image<br />
photographed on Mar. 20, <strong>2011</strong> by an Expedition 27 crew member in the Cupola <strong>of</strong><br />
the International Space Station. Just under ten feet in diameter, the Cupola<br />
accommodates two crew members and portable workstations that can control<br />
station and robotic activities. The multi-directional view allows the crew to monitor<br />
spacewalks and docking operations, as well as provide a spectacular view <strong>of</strong> Earth<br />
and other celestial objects as evidenced in this image.<br />
