See it on NASA's siteOn April 1, 2020, a camera in Hungary caught a celestial traffic jam in Taurus. The International Space Station streaks across the bottom of the frame, moving fast. The planet Venus, much slower, shines brightly and is overexposed, a brilliant point of light. All these objects are headed toward the ecliptic plane, where the planets orbit.
