Our astronaut Sophie Adenot shared this video on her social media channels with the caption:

[EN] Day 106, orbit 1644 — This timelapse shows the approach and docking of the SpaceX CRS‑34 resupply mission on 17 May. Isn’t it amazing to think that this docking manoeuvre takes place while flying at 28,000 km/h around the Earth?
The blurred dot in the middle of the picture is actually a micrometeoroid impact on the Cupola window… No worries, it’s been there for a long time !

[FR] Jour 106, orbite 1644 – Ce timelapse montre les phases d'approche et d’amarrage de la mission de ravitaillement SpaceX CRS‑34 le 17 mai. Incroyable de se dire que cette manœuvre d’amarrage s’effectue à 28 000 km/h autour de la Terre !
Le point flou au centre de l’image est un impact de micrométéoroïde sur le hublot de la Cupola… mais pas d’inquiétude, il n’est pas récent !
