This is a view from Earth orbit showing Galveston, Texas, as seen on a cloudless day October 3, 2010. The photograph was taken by one of three Expedition 25 crew members aboard the International Space Station, approximately 220 miles above Earth. The crew of three will double in size after a NASA astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts arrive following a launch Oct. 8 (Kazakhstan time)from the Baikonur Cosmodrome via a Soyuz.
