Explanation:
After sunset on March 28,
the International Space Station climbed above
the western horizon, as seen from Wallasey, England at the mouth of
the River Mersey.
Still glinting in the sunlight some
400
kilometers above planet Earth,
the fast moving ISS was followed by hand with a small
backyard telescope and high frame rate digital camera.
A total of 2500 frames were recorded during the 7 minute long visible
ISS passage and 100 of them captured images of the space station.
These are the four best frames showing remarkable details of the ISS
in low Earth orbit.
Near the peak
of its track, about 60 degrees above the horizon, the
ISS was brighter than the brightest star in the sky and
as close as 468 kilometers to the Wallasey backyard.
