Explanation:
From low Earth orbit to the outer Solar System,
this remarkable video frame composite follows the
International Space Station's
transit of Saturn.
On January 15, the well-timed capture from a site near Dulmen,
Germany required telescope and camera to
be positioned along the
predicted transit centerline, a path
only 40 meters wide.
That put the camera about 1,140 kilometers away from
the space station
during the transit and 1,600,000,000 kilometers away
from Saturn.
A video rate of 42 frames per second follows the orbital outpost
moving quickly from lower right to upper left.
The transit itself lasted about 0.02 seconds, with one
frame showing the station directly in front of the ringed
gas giant.
Of course,
you could also try to capture the International Space Station as it
transits Jupiter.
