COSMIC MESSAGE

The International Space Station is shown transiting the partially lit Moon, captured in a 1/1000th of a second exposure from Madrid. The station is visible just on the dark side of the lunar terminator, the line between day and night. The entire transit across the Moon lasted about half a second.
