‘Jasmine Moghebeli’ is part of the ‘Expedition 70’ team on ISS. 3 more astronauts are also seen with him in the picture, who participated in the festival. All of them are wearing a Christmas hat. Eating and drinking items on the table.
It can be seen in pictures that due to zero gravity, the spoon, scissors etc. placed on the table of scientists are in the air. The socks are hung. Most of the gifts have been taped, so that it stays in its place. This team of scientists present in space will return to Earth next year.
The International Space Station is a lab of 400 km above the earth, where a team of scientists is always deployed. All the experiments are done there. The ISS passes over the whole earth and covers all countries. The US space agency NASA wants to dearbit the ISS by 2030, that is, it will be safely dropped on the earth.
