View of the Bahamas from the Cupola aboard the ISS

In this image you can see a colorful view of the Bahamas from Space, taken by NASA astronaut Scott Kelly (https://goo.gl/Ub9jKX) from aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

The Cupola with its seven windows was built by ESA (https://goo.gl/AZKxDy). The circular 80 centimeters (31 inches) window is the largest ever used in space. More information here:

Year in Space

Scott Kelly is currently on a one-year mission in space, joined by Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko (https://goo.gl/rGe08R). By extending the mission time from the usual six months to one year the researchers hope to better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to long-duration spaceflight. More on that here:

Scott Kelly frequently posts pictures from space on his Twitter, follow him here: https://twitter.com/StationCDRKelly
