In the foreground, the Draco thrusters of the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft, docked to Harmony’s forward port, are seen firing during a demonstration of its ability to reboost the station’s orbit. In the background, an atmospheric glow blankets Earth's horizon with the city lights on Africa's east coast dotting the dark landscape.
