Backdropped by a colorful Earth, this aft zenith view of the International Space Station was photographed during the flyaround by the Space Shuttle Discovery following the undocking of the two spacecraft. The view in the background is the North Caspian Sea with the Volga River entering from the bottom of the image. This view is actually looking to the South East from the bottom of the frame across the Caspian at the top of the frame.
