@mojo1647 I know that is due to the way the astronaut has held the camera when he had taken the picture. I have checked approximately what can be seen using the NYC online map.
@PC0101, not quite Wall Street in your Manhattan link, south is up and it reaches only 14th St and Union Square... 8-) Thank you again for your research.
@jpereirag It certainly is glass. The manufacturer Alena Space tells this: Each window is composed of two 25-mm thick panes with two thinner panes for damage protection from the inside and the outside.
