International Space Station in Transit

COSMIC MESSAGE
The International Space Station, a human-made satellite, is captured here in a stunning telescopic image. It is seen crossing in front of an eight-day-old Moon. Unlike the leisurely transit of Mercury across the Sun, the Space Station moves quickly through the sky, making such a photograph a matter of precise timing.
