A worldwide contest has again redefined the concept of "high art" by briefly converting the International Space Station (ISS) into a gallery for the winners' works.
The space station's Cupola, which is usually lit by the colors of Earth shining through the module's large, panoramic windows, recently took on a different palette as printouts of paintings, ink drawings and poetry blanketed its panes. The art, which was created by students and educators from the United States, Taiwan, Chile and the Philippines, depicted what it is like to live and work in space.
