Explanation:
Still catching the Sun's rays, the
International
Space Station (ISS) cruises across the early evening
sky
above Tomahawk, Wisconsin, USA.
Recorded on April 9 around 9 pm CDT in a 30 second exposure, the
sunlit space station traced this bright streak moving east
(right) through the
constellation
Cassiopeia.
Below lies
Comet Ikeya-Zhang
sporting a visible tail.
But while this photogenic
comet is now fading from view,
the ISS will be
getting brighter.
Hours after this picture was taken, the Space Shuttle Atlantis
docked with
the ISS, bringing another
structure to add to the growing
orbital outpost.
