The International Space Station Passes By The Moon

By Jack Brummet, Stellar Ed.

A Romanian astrophotographer, Maximilian Teodorescu. recent used a Maksutov telescope to photograph the International Space Station passing in front of the moon in daylight. Wow.  He shot the photograph with a Canon 550D--an ISO 800 image with a shutter speed of 1/1250s.

The International Space Station flies about 220 miles over the earth, or, a three hour drive in your Honda, if it could drive straight up.
