About this image

A relatively low-angle pass of the ISS gave an oblique view of the station, with the solar arrays seen almost edge-on. The left-hand image was a few seconds later than the other, so the arrays have opened up slightly. Two of the new iROSA solar arrays can be seen mounted on the upper fixed arrays; the latest of these was installed recently. The Crew-5 Dragon capsule is docked to the left-hand end of the main axis.
