[:ja]ジェシカ・メイヤー宇宙飛行士がジューンティーンス（6/19）にISSから撮影した米テキサス州のガルベストン（ガルヴェストン）です。
「ジューンティーンス（Juneteenth）」は「自由の日」（Freedom Day）、「解放の日」（Liberation Day）としても知られ、米国で奴隷身分であった人々の解放を祝う祭日です。北部合衆国軍のゴードン・グレンジャー将軍がテキサス州ガルヴェストンにおいて1865年6月19日に、それまでにテキサス州で奴隷身分とされてきた全ての人々は自由であるとする連邦政府からの命令を読み上げたことを記念するものです。
1865年6月19日に一般命令第3号が読み上げられた、テキサス州ガルヴェストンのアシュトン・ヴィラはこちらです。

Juneteenth (a portmanteau of June and nineteenth) also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day – is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the U.S. Originating in Texas, it is now celebrated annually on the 19th of June throughout the country, with varying official recognition. Specifically, it commemorates Union army general Gordon Granger announcing federal orders in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, proclaiming that all slaves in Texas were free.
