Awesome!

These pictures are beautiful, but if the astronauts would learn to turn off the flash, they would not get the flashback against the glass in the windows. There really isn't a reason to use flash at that distance imho but I am not a professional.

They certainly did not use flash. The reflection is from the cabin illumination made more visible by the long exposure, as witnessed by the ground light streaks.
