## Caption

Looking down on Earth from the International Space Station (ISS), astronaut Jeff Williams (astro_jeffw) captured a pic of the Himalayas. The station is a unique place - a convergence of science, technology and human innovation that demonstrates new technologies and makes research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. It is a microgravity laboratory in which an international crew of six people live and work while traveling at a speed of 17,500 mph, orbiting Earth every 90 minutes.
