ISS
The International Space Station (ISS) is very visible at the moment, appearing as an often very bright, yet very fast-moving star. Taking advantage of a location that has much less light pollution than home, I took the above long exposure photo this evening showing the transit of the ISS across the sky, passing through Leo.…
