Figure 1 shows a cross-section of a pressurized research spacecraft in orbit, including a flat glass viewing window.

Figure 1: Cross-section diagram of a spacecraft cabin wall in the vacuum of space. The circular cabin wall has a flat glass window section. The interior is labeled 'Inside cabin (air at atmospheric pressure)' and the exterior is labeled 'Outer space (vacuum)'. A point 'Y' is marked in the middle of the flat glass window surface.

Draw an arrow on Figure 1 to show the direction of the force exerted on the window at point Y by the air pressure inside the cabin.
