WASHINGTON: Earlier this week, NASA pointed its cameras at the Moon, and it captured this stunning image of the global Space Station (ISS) transiting the Lunar surface. Armenpress reports that the image of the global Space Station is visible close to the center of the photo.
The global Space Station (ISS), with a crew of six onboard, is seen in silhouette as it passes the moon. The latter are Gennady Padalka, Mikhail Kornienko and Oleg Kononenko, NASA astronauts Scott Joseph Kelly and Kjell Lindgren, and the Japanese Kimiya Yui.
Here, the ISS seems to be drifting just above the Moon; however, the Moon orbits Earth from a distance of roughly 250,000 miles (404,000 km). If you’ve ever tried to see the ISS with the naked eye, you know you only have a brief window before it zips out of view, a speeding pinpoint of light against the darkness of space. Pretty spectacular, no? The scale is absolutely phenomenal; the ISS is about the size of a football field, so it gives you an idea of moon’s relatively small stature.
