iss074e0609033 (May 26, 2026) --- Northrop Grumman's Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft, berthed to the Earth-facing port of the Unity module, is pictured from a window in the International Space Station's cupola. The orbital outpost was soaring 274 miles above the South Indian Ocean east of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands as an aurora australis beamed above Earth's horizon beneath a starry sky.
