I’m back in Knoxville… just in time to watch another Space Station flyover, this time with the Moon and Jupiter nearby:

Alas, you can’t see Jupiter, which was quite close to the Moon, because of the damn cloud. ;) The ISS is the little line at at top right — you can see it better in the larger view, and even better in the close-up after the jump:

The star it’s crossing at the very beginning (i.e., right-hand side) of the 15-second exposure is Epsilon Serpentis.

On Thursday night, there’ll be an even cooler flyover, in which the ISS will pass very close to the Moon, and right through Sagittarius:

If the sky is clear, I will definitely go out and try to get a picture of that.

P.S. While I was waiting for the Space Station to fly by, I believe I also saw the GPS 2-04 Rocket1. What I saw definitely looked like a satellite, anyway, and the path and timing match. Anyway, here’s more info on that particular satellite.
