The crew of the space station celebrated a multidenominational Christmas this year, hanging stockings for Santa alongside a menorah "lit" with pretty felt flames.
The menorah was brought aboard the International Space Station by NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli and adorned with a felt flame each night when Hanukkah, the Jewish festival, ran earlier this December. Felt was chosen as a material for the menorah due to understandable restrictions concerning lighting fires on spacecraft and space stations.
