## Caption

Italy from Space: Astronaut Reid Wiseman aboard the International Space Station posted this image and wrote, "#Italy, lone #lightning strike, moonlight on the Med.  #Perfection." The six-person space station Expedition 41 crew conducted scientific experiments Friday, closing out a busy week focused on gearing up for two spacewalks. During the first spacewalk beginning around 8:10 a.m. EDT Tuesday, Wiseman and Alexander Gerst will exit out the Quest airlock for a six-and-a-half hour excursion. Flight Engineer Barry Wilmore, who will be inside the cupola to provide robotic support, will join Wiseman on Oct. 15 for another excursion outside the station.
