Explanation:
Soaring high in skies around planet Earth, bright planet
Saturn was a star of
June's morning
planet parade.
But very briefly on June 24 it posed with a bright object in
low Earth orbit, the International Space Station.
On that date from a school parking lot in
Temecula, California the ringed-planet and
International Space
Station
were both caught in this single
high-speed video
frame.
Though Saturn was shining at +0.5 stellar magnitude
the space station was an even brighter -3
on
the magnitude scale.
That difference in brightness is faithfully represented
in the video capture frame.
In the challenging
image, the orbiting ISS was at a range of 602 kilometers.
Saturn was about 1.4 billion kilometers from the
school parking lot.
