ISS Over Mont-Megantic Observatory
Explanation:
On August 1st, a time
exposure
created this surreal view that
looks up into the early morning sky over southern Quebec.
Only the light
from a nearly Full Moon brightens the
sky and highlights the dome of the 1.6 meter telescope at
Mont-Megantic Observatory
.
Shadowy figures on the catwalk are astronomers who have
interrupted their work
to glimpse
the International Space Station
(
ISS
) 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
.
