With Crew-11 set to depart shortly, command of the ISS will fall to Russian cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov. He'll remain on the station with fellow Soyuz travellers, NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergei Mikaev. They will be the only crew aboard the station until SpaceX Crew-12 launches in February.

Astronauts on the International Space Station were not only treated to a sight from Earth's atmosphere recently but also caught a glimpse of one of the Milky Way's nearest galactic neighbors.
