#NationalSelfieDay!
Astro_Annimal turns the camera for a selfie during a spacewalk on May 1, 2025, while upgrading the International Space Station's (ISS) power generation system. See if you can spot Astro_Ayers, the other astronaut who took part in the 5-hour, 44-minute spacewalk.
This was the 275th spacewalk conducted outside the International Space Station since 1998; it was the third spacewalk for Anne McClain, and the first for Nichole Ayers. Astronauts and cosmonauts regularly participate in spacewalks to keep the station running smoothly and to install new equipment and scientific experiments on the station's exterior.
Image description: NASA astronaut and Expedition 72 Flight Engineer Anne McClain points a camera towards herself and takes a "space-selfie" during a spacewalk. Her helmet takes up most of the image, with the blue-white Earth filling the background. Reflected in her helmet's visor is fellow spacewalker and NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers.
