Cool pic of space station passing over the moon [pic]





Quote:
It is the largest manmade object in orbit around our planet, yet the International Space Station was dwarfed by the moon as it was captured passing in front of the bright lunar surface.
Nasa released this stunningly detailed close up of the lunar surface as the space station transited in front of it at a speed of around five miles per second, or 18,000 miles per hour.
Usually the ISS can only be glimpsed as a bright shining streak in the sky, almost indistinguishable from the stars apart from its rapid movement.



Pretty cool...
