Megan's party

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet and the rest of the International Space Station crew pose while celebrating the 50th birthday of NASA astronaut Megan McArthur.

Thomas shared this image on his social media channels with the caption: "A very special Megan day! The birthday girl got a spacecraft as a present, and I think she’s the only person in the world to be able to claim that! She deserves it entirely. Picture-perfect rendez-vous and docking, we quickly opened the hatch and started shuffling cargo around, until the birthday dinner. Quesadillas, salami and decorated cookies… happy crew!"
