The six Expedition 34 crew members aboard the International Space Station are seeing out the old year and ringing in the new one as they orbit 260 miles above the Earth.

Because the station travels around the Earth every hour and a half, the station’s crew will have ample opportunity to celebrate the arrival of 2013 all day long.
