ISS Over Mont-Megantic Observatory

COSMIC MESSAGE

This time exposure over Mont-Megantic Observatory in Quebec captures a surreal early morning view. The nearly full Moon illuminates the dome of the 1.6-meter telescope and the surrounding landscape. Astronomers on the catwalk have paused their work to watch the International Space Station streak overhead. The ISS, appearing as the brightest 'star,' is a human-made beacon in the moonlit sky.
