forgive me if this has already been asked, but is the installation of Harmony on Unity a much different procedure than the installation of the Leonardo logistics module?

yes

How so?

this almost looks like oxidation.  What do you think?  Or is is the the way it is sun lit?

It is anodize/alodined

Jim, do you mean to say that the anodizing was an consequence of on-orbit exposure, or was performed prior to launch?

Just wanted to see if somebody here could point me toward a reasonably detailed diagram of how the ISS is laid out. Sad to say, I haven't studied up enough to always remember where the modules are in relation to each other (especially the airlocks, for some reason). Thanks!!

It's corrosion protection for the aluminum (or titanium, whichever it is) done prior to launch.

A better and more current diagram is usually posted at

I expect that it will get updated to show Node 2 soon.
