Can someone explain when this photo was taken and (more importantly) with what?

Per the timeline posted above:

Oct. 31 at 7:37 UTC - launch of Mengtian on CZ-5B
October 31 at 20:27 UTC - docking of Mengtian at forward port of Tianhe
Nov. 3 at 0:48–1:32 UTC - robotic relocation of Mengtian from forward to port on Tianhe
Nov. 9 at 6:55 UTC - undocking of Tianzhou 4 from aft port of Tianhe for EOM

But this photo shows Mengtian on the forward port with Tianzhou 4 attached aft, which means 10/31 - 11/3. So it had to be a small sat or something?

Isn't this a computer graphics model?

Shenzhou-14 recently had an extravehicular activity.
There are a lot of things in the cabin ~~~ 😵

Maybe. Looks pretty real to me, but that's the simplest answer. Do I have to turn in my millennial card if I can't tell between a rendering and a photo? :)

On the right in this photo, two robotic arms of @TiangongStation connected to form a 15m-long arm..

External payloads on #Tianzhou5

High-energy particle detector (the one with cylindrical segment)
Hydrogen-Oxygen fuel cell to support future lunar crewed missions (the two blocks that are connected by cables)
Macau cubesat (to be deployed probably before reentry)?

It turns out the new resistive exercise device in Mengtian Laboratory Module is a rowing machine. Astronaut LIU Yang had a first try.

If the photo is real it potentially was taken by a CubeSat deployed from Mengtian airlock?

Contrast between light and shadows isn't enough. This is CGI in my opinion.

China's #Shenzhou14 crew has finished the package arrangement and equipment installation works in the Mengtian space lab of #Tiangong space station. They also got a new rowing machine in the module for work out. See how their wonderful space life went!

What’s the latest on the Chinese space station?
To answer that, let’s take a look at our special #TiangongTVseries.

It seems Shenzhou-14 astronauts will carry out their third spacewalk today. Ground track of @TiangongStation shows it will leave the South Atlantic Anomaly at ~00:50UTC T-1 hour

Superb view of the 15m-long robotic arm with poor resolution. Do you like it?
