An Expedition 26 crew member used a fish-eye lens attached to an electronic still camera to capture this image of the docked space shuttle Discovery (STS-133) and its remote manipulator system/orbiter boom sensor system (RMS/OBSS), the newly-installed Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) and the Canadian-built Dextre, also known as the Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator (SPDM). The blackness of space and Earth's horizon provide the backdrop for the scene.
