Expedition 75 commander, flight engineer, and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir: "Starry starry night. Channeling my inner post-impressionism vibes as I experiment with long exposure star trails from the International Space Station's Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) window. Maybe van Gogh was dreaming in long exposure for his masterpiece. That’s the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) external platform (JEF) in the foreground, looking toward the port truss solar arrays on the left. Taken with a Nikon Z9, 14mm lens, 180s exposure."

The Starry Night is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. Painted in June 1889, it depicts the view from the east-facing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise with the addition of an imaginary village.
