International Space Station passing by the constellations.
Taken with NightCap. Light Trails mode, 169.43 second exposure, 1/1s shutter speed.
One Hour and Forty-Five minutes, plus or minus 1 to 59 seconds, was how long it took us to reach this entry way!
Save yourself $250,000 USD, with $40 (plus sales tax, of course) and almost two hours of waiting, you will get to board the International Space Station and see our planet and outer space from the Earth's low orbit, without ever leaving Earth!
I'm talking about "The Infinite", a Virtual Reality journey, the world's largest interactive immersive experience about space exploration aboard the International Space Station.
The experience was mind-blowing, all the frustration of having to wait in line was erased after we came back to Earth!
Click the two links below for more details; the next tour is scheduled in Seattle in May; when it comes to your area, get the tickets before they sell out, you won't regret!

Das neue Einkaufscenter ist als Modul an die Internationale Raumstation, ISS, angedockt. Bei dem Andockmanöver kam es zu einem Zwischenfall. Der gläserne Boden ging zu Bruch und wird in Kürze nachgeliefert.
The new shopping center is docked as a module on the International Space Station, ISS. An incident occurred during the docking maneuver. The glass floor broke and will be delivered shortly.
Aproveché el paso de la ISS (Estación Espacial Internacional) sobre el alto horno dejando esa estela tan espectacular.
Y cuadré justo encima Júpiter, que es uno de los planetas que más brillo ofrece.
La verdad que se pusieron todos los elementos de acuerdo para salir en la foto :)
Espero que os guste.
I have tried this many times and never made it work! It all seemed to come together tonight with a level tripod, a low enough pass of the space station..
36 x 8sec exposures across three different angles during the pass.
The edit was quite tricky as lightroom and photoshop didn't like doing the auto alignment.. so there was quite a lot of good old manual photoshop driving!
A small gift and a conundrum for all the fellows photographers who will enjoy it.
I have been using an app on my Android smartphone for the last few years - an app called ISS live now, which allow me to watch the Earth from one of the cameras of the International Space Station, following its motion above us. One can take photographs or videos of our precious, beautiful mother planet from space. While I am never tired of watching and daydreaming from such a privileged point of view, I tried to take some shots some years ago, capturing the stunning beauty of a sunrise from space. This is the best shot of that small series, sporting the diamond of the rising sun at the horizon and showing how thin and fragile our all-important atmosphere is.
Now for the conundrum: may I call this one a photo of mine? May I count it as a work of mine? Contrary to my habit of processing my photos, this one is SOOC - not even cropped.
Hope that you enjoy this, both the photo and the attached conundrum... Have a nice Sunday and remind that every day, even the darkest one, may have a little miracle in store for you.
The International Space Station flying across the sky over the Daymark Tower near Kingswear, Devon. I was able to line up the ISS with the tower and also got it traversing across part of the Milkyway which was going across overhead.
Last Monday the ISS (International Space Station) made a favourable pass over Canterbury at 18:08pm local time. It would be visible for around 5 mins and at magnitude -2.9 it would be as bright as Jupiter. As the weather was good I found myself with a great photo opportunity. The ISS was rising at 10° above the SW horizon, curving up and moving east between the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Large Magellanic Cloud, peaking at 34° SSE, followed by curving down and disappearing into the core of the milky way galaxy at 10° ESE. The available light was quickly dropping as it was 20 mins after the blue hour had ended. I kept my fingers crossed hoping that my homework had paid off.
Sky: portrait orientation, from right to left: 6x 60 secs, F/4, ISO 400, tracked.
Foreground: landscape orientation: 4x 30 secs, F/9, ISO 12,800.
In the assembled pano of the sky the ISS curve had a few inevitable gaps due to me needing to rotate the camera at 30° steps. I filled these gaps during PP.
You’ll notice some star trails in the milky way part of the image which I is likely due to me bumping my star tracker out of alignment. Grr!
The foreground is not as clear as I would have liked but I had to work quick to prevent large differences in exposure as the light was disappearing.
I have never done such a stressful night sky shoot.
. . . Just as predicted, the International Space Station (ISS) passed almost directly overhead tonight at the cabin! Kind of hard to properly expose the bright moon, several stars, one bright planet, and the ISS all at once!
Have a great weekend Facebook and Flickr friends!

I wanted to capture our latest visitor to our skies, Comet Neowise so I set my alarm clock for a very early start and headed down to Berry Head to see what I could find. I was lucky enough to get the ISS coming over which I captured having the camera pointed in a North Easterly direction and used my wide angle lens to get both the Comet and ISS together. I had a great night looking up at many things in the night sky and stayed for the sunrise too so more images will follow.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this and other images today.

The ISS trail is rather obvious and then I circled a few minor trails made by some other objects up there in the skies above us. Maybe Iridium flares. This was all observed over Berks County, Pennsylvania thru a Samyang 14 mm lens.

Thank you all for visits, faves and comments.
3 x 30 second exposures stacked together. Notice how the trails get longer as it approaches (gets higher in the sky).
Hoof and Horace were taking tea with Dorothy Trethewey, President of the village runner bean growing society when quite unexpectedly Daisy a pedigree friesian cow walked in saying she had not been into space recently and were there any trips planned.👵☕️☕️☕️🐎🐷🐄🚀
Hoof said “what a coincidence Daisy, following a suggestion by another Brian www.flickr.com/photos/17469730@N00/ Horace and I are are going on a mission later today to carry out experiments onboard the International Space Station”.🚀
As you are all probably aware anyone can go on board the ISS provided they can supply their own transport.🚚🚘🚝🚜🚛🚤🚲
While Daisy sprinted home to pack her bags and a few udder things for the trip, H & H took a drive over to Combellack’s a vehicle breakers where they bought up a large number of high powered car engines, although H & H feel the existing engines on their Typhoon are perfectly adequate for the straight line stability which they require while transporting clients to Mars,
they felt that carrying out more intricate manoeuvres such as docking with the ISS which travels at 17500 mph would require bow and stern thrusters fitted to their Typhoon.🐮💼👛👜👝
Hoof and Horace figured out the fitment of these would be necessary to lessen the amount of paperwork with insurance companies should there be a slight collision at these type of speeds💥💥
Can you imagine an insurance company having to send an assessor to check out any accident damage to the ISS while in orbit, never mind the technicians from the bodyshop having to carry out a bit of panel beating and spraying to correct any panel damage. ✍️👨🔧
Following a successful launch from our field the boys and Daisy were on their way to the ISS with picnic boxes full of sandwiches and cakes made by Mrs P, plus the inevitable drinks cabinet.🍅🍇🍊🍎🍩🍰🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷
Due to the sheer power of the Typhoon our boys and Daisy had docked with the ISS within minutes, indeed the bow and stern thrusters had worked, so no paperwork.🔥🔥🚀
Can you imagine captaining the ISS and there is a knock at the door, and there in front of you is a Horse and his navigator in the shape of a pig with pink wellies, plus a cow, talk about being off the planet.🐎🐷🐄🙈
One of the many experiments which H & H want to undertake is how to brew beer in space with this weightlessness business going on, and when you have brewed the product, will you be able to get the head at the top of the glass, this is taking the boundaries of science to another level.🍺🍺🍺
As this had been such a busy day, Hoof, Horace and Daisy made their way to the bar of the ISS.
Well H & H are quite used to consuming large amounts of alcohol, however whether Daisy was out of practise or the weightlessness had caught her by surprise, but Daisy went to sleep on the floor of the ISS. So H & H said “perhaps we should go off to bed as well”.🐄😴💤
The boys were going out of the bar and the barman shouts “here, you can’t leave that lying on the floor” Horace responded “mate that’s not a lion, its a cow”🐄🐮
Have a safe weekend, thank you so much for looking at my photos, your comments are so appreciated🐎🐷🐄🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷😎👍😂😂😂

Cathedral Rocks of Mt Ruapehu during the astronomical dawn, captured in this 30 minutes exposure. The path of the International Space Station (ISS) can be seen streaking across the sky.
Summit Plateau, Mt Ruapehu, Tongariro National Park.
The International Space Station orbits into a dawn 261 miles above a cloudy Pacific Ocean in this image from April 2022.
Not only does the station crew snap beauty shots of the planet we call home, the crew also conducts a variety of Earth and space science, including observations of the world's oceans.
NASA also has a variety of Earth-observing missions and even studies ocean worlds throughout our solar system.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, doubt, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,empathy, generosity, forgiveness, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ;Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, The one you feed.

International Space Station [and the Milky Way Galaxy]
30 Second Exposure [and after the magic of post-processing...what I wish I had captured]
This Norman church, which was built in the 12th century, is situated at the centre of a Neolithic ritual henge earthwork. The unusual pairing of the henge and the church symbolises the transition from pagan to Christian worship. It is supposed to be one on the most haunted places in England. However, having stood with my camera for an hour to get this shot, I can say that the strangest thing I encountered was a sound of a sheep coughing in the next field. Ghosts and ghouls belong with Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy :)
That's the International Space Station in the upper right.

A 10 shot sequence of the International Space Station, passing the disc of the Sun on the 5th Aug 2022 at 15:51:03.49s
A lot of patchy cloud about, and obviously at the time of the transit, the Sun was partially obscured. I was having to manually adjust the exposure constantly as the cloud was thickening and thinning. Still ecstatic at capturing my first Solar Transit. Hope next time the weather is kinder.
The International Space Station caught flying across the face of the Moon. A total of 17 Video frames, overlayed to create this composite shot.
Traveling at 16083 mph, and at an altitude of around 618km, the ISS only took 0.79 seconds to cross the Moon.
Silly fact, this Shot of the ISS, is the equivalent of me, standing next to Big Ben, in London, and taking a photograph of an American Football Field, flying across the centre of France, at 16000mph at a certain time within 0.79 seconds.....with the Moon behind it
The Sun's rays begin to illuminate the Earth's atmosphere as the International Space Station flew into an orbital sunrise 261 miles above Texas, as seen in this image taken by astronaut Bob Hines.

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet snapped this image of the Moon from the Russian segment on board the International Space Station earlier this month.
Currently on his first month of the six-month Alpha mission, Thomas is taking stunning photos of Earth and other wondrous objects when not working on science or Station maintenance.
“The blueish picture is when it was still low and the sky was not yet dark,” he notes. “It turned into its black and white self only moments later.”
Parts of North and South America, Australia and the Pacific will be treated to a lunar eclipse, which occurs when the Moon is engulfed by Earth’s shadow and the only sunlight that reaches its surface passes through our planet’s atmosphere, giving it a beautiful red-orange tint.
Today’s lunar eclipse will be the only total lunar eclipse of this year, and that same evening the Moon will be just 357 311 km away, often called a ‘SuperMoon’.
Despite the first human visit more than 50 years ago, the Moon remains largely unexplored yet promises to help us understand the formation of our planet, how crucial chemicals like water, necessary for life, came to the Earth-Moon system, and how we could one day use resources on the Moon to enable human presence.
In the near future, ESA will go ‘forward to the Moon’ when the European Service Module powers NASA’s Orion mission into lunar orbit, and in the next decade, ESA will play a key role in the development of the Gateway, an orbiting science station that will support future human landings.
For now, ESA is bringing the lunar eclipse to Europe with real-time coverage of the total lunar eclipse starting at midday today, 26 May, on ESA Web TV.
The live programme begins at 11:30 CEST and runs over lunchtime in Europe and will provide commentary on this fantastic eclipse, with special guest astronomers, scientists, engineers and experts from Europe and Australia.
