Astronauts have seen how many people they can squeeze into the International Space Station's famous viewing portal.
NASA's Jessica Meir posted an image of herself and her colleagues tightly packed into the cupola.
They were watching the arrival of three more crew to the orbital platform on Tuesday, July 14.

New Expedition 74 crew members arriving were Anil Menon of NASA and Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina.
The astronauts also found time to take amusing crew portraits, with some of them appearing upside-down in microgravity.
Jessica posted: "How many people can you fit in the Space Station Cupola? At least 5! Eyes peeled over Baikonur as we watch our friends make their way toward their new home with us! Go Pyotr, Anna, and Anil Menon, go 75S!"
The three new arrivals will spend the next eight months living and working aboard the Space Station before returning to Earth in April 2027.
