## Caption

Aboard the International Space Station (ISS), astronaut Barry (Butch) Wilmore snapped this photo and wrote, "Spiral of lights BURSTING from Earth! #Spain looks like it is floating away from #Africa" 
As the second resupply ship this week prepares to leave the space station another spacecraft is being readied for its launch. Meanwhile, the six-member Expedition 42 crew was working a variety of maintenance and science tasks this week.
