In the close-up crop (top right corner), captured as the ISS flew over Mare Tranquillitatis (The Sea of Tranquility), it is possible to distinguish:
The main solar array wings and, running parallel to them, the smaller thermal radiators that regulate the station's internal temperature. At the center, the Zarya module and the main laboratory/habitation module cluster.
