Looking out of the ISS window.

I was watching NASA TV this afternoon, and the camera was panning around outside looking at the Earth.
I wondered exactly where they were, and found this handy little site.
It shows you a simulated view looking from the US Destiny's lab window.

Here's a view from the simulated window, and below it the actual view from the camera outside.

ISS - 10 years

ISS 10 year anniversary.

I've just gleaned a couple of facts from the STS-126 mission status briefing. The ISS since it started has had 164 visitors and travelled 1.3 Billion miles. Time flys.
