Aki Hoshide, the third Japanese astronaut to walk in space and Expedition 32 flight engineer, took this picture during his third session of EVA (extravehicular activity), taken while arguing the capabilities of the ISS, International Space Station. The Sun shines in the upper left corner, while reflected in the visor is the Earth, portions of a mechanical arm, Aki himself, a ring of space, and the Earth observing camera launched into space mid-summer. Yesterday, this Expedition ended, the Soyuz spacecraft capsule unlocking from the ISS and bringing the crew out from the Heavens and back to the Earth.
