Good evening Ed, Here is a picture of the EF thermal cover similar to the one on Kibo (taken from the STS-127 press kit): http://www.obsat.com/images/sts127/JEF-MLI.jpg It should be around 2 feet in diameter and was released at 17:42 UTC on July 18 by the spacewalker Dave Wolf.

Does anyone have any clue as to how big this is? E.g. is it bigger than a tool kit? Clear and dark skies!
