Sunglint illuminating the waters of the Chesapeake Bay! On July 21, 2016, Expedition 48 Commander Jeff Williams (astro_jeffw) aboard the International Space Station (ISS) shared this photograph and wrote, "Morning passing over the Chesapeake Bay heading across the Atlantic." The International Space Station serves as the world's leading laboratory for conducting cutting-edge microgravity research, and is the primary platform for technology development and testing in space to enable human and robotic exploration of destinations beyond low-Earth orbit, including asteroids and Mars.
