Images captured from the International Space Station on May 6 were combined to create this panorama of Washington state\u2019s Olympic Peninsula, with Seattle and Tacoma in the background. Click on the picture for a larger version. (Credit: NASA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can see the snow dusting the tops of the Olympic Mountains in a newly released portrait captured from the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

The panorama was assembled from seven photos taken from orbit on May 6, and tweeted out by NASA astronaut Jeff Williams today.<\/p>\n
