About this image

A nearly overhead pass of the ISS, imaged in fair seeing conditions. The SpaceX Crew Dragon DM2 module is still docked to the leading (left-hand) end of the station, but only one side of it is illuminated, The other side is shadowed by the fin that projects towards Earth. The Japanese HTV-9 vehicle is seen end-on just inboard of Crew Dragon. The Progress 75 supply module is docked to the trailing end of the station. The multi-pronged shape on the middle left is the Space Exposure Facility, and the rounded Bigelow Expandable Activity Module can be seen below the bright heat-rejection panels.

I hope a 3D anaglyph version of this image will be available in a day or two.
