ISS Over Mont-Megantic Observatory
|
|
Explanation:
|
|
On August 1st, a time exposure [ http://en.wikipedia…] created this surreal view that looks up into the early morning sky over southern Quebec. Only the light [ http://www.darksky.…] from a nearly Full Moon brightens the sky and highlights the dome of the 1.6 meter telescope at Mont-Megantic Observatory [ http://www.astrolab…en_astrolab_level03_ sublevel01.html ]. Shadowy figures on the catwalk are astronomers who have interrupted their work to glimpse [ http://spaceflight.…] the International Space Station (ISS [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…]) streaking overhead. The brightest "star" in the moonlit sky, the ISS was easy to spot moving through a background of stars in the high-flying constellation Pegasus [ http://hawastsoc.or…].
