Description: This image is among the initial series taken through a first of its kind "bay window" on the International Space Station, the seven-windowed Cupola. The image shows small clouds over a light blue background. The image was recorded with a digital still camera using a 19mm lens setting. The Cupola, which a week and half ago was brought up to the orbital outpost by the STS-130 crew on the space shuttle Endeavour, will house controls for the station robotics and will be a location where crew members can operate the robotic arms and monitor other exterior activities.
