I don’t see any stars in the background, these are obviously fake.

Neat. I always get a few new desktop backgrounds from NASA's web site during shuttle missions. These look like shots from STS-118. The current mission is Discovery, STS-120.

The shuttle’s robotic arm is Canadian made, eh?

Those black dots... remind me of something...

Tell me, are they perfectly formed? Multiplying at a fast rate?

They are there as docking measures for the shuttle and the station so the astronauts will know where to dock. You do not want to know how very much that paint costs a pint! The company developed the paint and just recently completed a building just to make the paint for the next space vehicle. We are the only company in the world that makes space paint like that.

What’s wrong with Canada??? They are an important part of the ISS mission; they built the crucial manipulator arm that does most of the construction work.

Very Cool, but the fake hockey puck through the shuttle window is a little tacky.
