Astronaut Karen Nyberg, Expedition 37 flight engineer, is getting an Ocular Health Fundoscope Exam in the Destiny laboratory of the International Space Station. This image has taught me that technology has gotten so advanced that even people in space can still get medical attention when they are so far away.

The international space station (ISS) is catching a beautiful sunrise. The ISS is used to dock space shuttles, it is powered by about 4000 square meters of solar power panels, this is also used as a hub for 6 crew members to perform experiments such as studies of the effects of near weightlessness (microgravity), conditions on materials & biological tissues.
