This is an exterior photograph of the library space depicted in Spaceship Earth, and in fact, the two "viewing ports" in the top left quarter I think are reconcilable with those visible in the earlier image. The smooth hard chines of of the external fascia and angular join are very reminiscent of the view of a ship's bow as it cuts through the ocean. In this instance the ocean represented by the vastness of... space, the final frontier, these are the voyages...Oops! (postscript 15th May) After making the comment about the above windows I was rather perplexed and confused that on closer inspection they do not appear to be the same as those depicted in the interior shot. In fact the window on the RHS of this exterior shot is slanting the opposite way to what I thought was its compliment in the interior shot.
Well after revisiting both locations I have finally realised that the exterior shot is from the same "box" section but is a different corner!
