Expedition 30 flight engineer Don Pettit has shared the one millionth photo taken on the International Space Station.
This is the millionth picture taken from ISS. Part of a time lapse series taken at night. I do not know who took it, either Dan Burbank or myself. Neither of us can remember!

OK, I'm always skeptical. Is the tracking system good enough to know that this is the one millionth picture? How is a picture defined?
