The Sochi Winter Olympics officially kicked off this day last week, with a spectacular opening ceremony. Many watched on across the world from the comfort of their homes, while others watched from space...
Today's 'Pic of the Day' is thanks to the Expedition 38 crew members aboard the International Space Station.
One of the group downlinked this vertical 600mm night view of the Winter Olympics site, while the festivities were just a few days underway.
Fisht Stadium, the venue that held the Opening Ceremonies, is instantly recognisable as the bright circular structure.
