Original - Tracy Caldwell-Dyson in the Cupola module of the International Space Station observing the Earth below during Expedition 24
Reason
Beautiful picture of a human looking at the Earth from space. Both the plain-clothed human and the round Earth are more identifiable that the usual image of a human in a space suit or a straight-down view from Earth orbit. Greatly enhances the Cupola article by demonstrating the module's unique value.

  • Strong support I find this to be a simply amazing, eye-catching image. It looks like something Hollywood would have made. I also motion that we suggest to Howcheng that he have this picture jump the 1-year-plus queue and feature this within a month or two after (when / if) it is promoted.
