  "account": "On October 29, 2026, Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk captured a stunning selfie during a spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS). Orbiting at a distance of 267 miles (430 kilometers) above the South Atlantic Ocean, the ISS provided a picturesque backdrop for Kutryk's photograph. This was Kutryk's first spacewalk since 2019 and he collaborated with NASA astronaut Anil Menon on tasks including the installation of a new roll-out solar array and some preparatory work for an upcoming spacewalk scheduled for November 5. The new array, which will be the eighth of its kind, will increase the station's power capacity by 30%, as per NASA officials. Spacewalks are not just about scientific research; they also involve critical maintenance tasks in the harsh environment of space, which can be stressful given the numerous risks present.",
