NASA astronaut Suni Williams sets spacewalk record as she is photographed from Earth

NASA astronaut Suni Williams was photographed during a spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS) on January 30. An amateur photographer captured the image from Earth as Williams set a record for the most non-consecutive hours spent spacewalking by a female astronaut. Williams has now logged 62 hours and 6 minutes in space. She was working to remove a defunct part of the ISS during her fifth spacewalk. The photo shows her as a small figure attached to the robotic arm of the station. Williams and fellow astronaut Barry Wilmore have been on the ISS since June 2024, far longer than their planned week. Their return has been delayed due to issues with the Boeing Starliner capsule that brought them to the station.
