    It's hard to tell from this angle, but Skylab was attached to the Dome by a short tunnel. Skylab was the home of three different science laboratories and a third-floor lounge (note the large window in this photo) that hosted many a band practice, poetry reading, church service, and sunrise/sunset party over the years. Here is an article about the transition of the science projects from Skylab to the new station: www.usap.gov/usapgov/News/contentH andler.cfm?id=998 Will open in a new tab or window
