Yesterday afternoon I captured a fleeting moment- the moment the ISS transited the moon. Despite being broad daylight, the ISS was clearly visible against the cratered terrain. I captured it in conjunction with the lunar south pole where astronauts will soon return.

@greggscott This is beautiful

@Shoehorn1984 Explain

@rookisaacman @Shift4 @StJude I love that helmet so much 😂

@van83714 Me

@rawsalerts Probably the same reason you can’t find unpickled pickles. So annoying, sometimes you just want a raw pickle.

RT @AJamesMcCarthy: @hamids The transit was about .5s, in my FOV for .17s

@sanastro_nm Since it looks out of focus, must be something much close to the scope, like a bird or bug. I catch them quite a lot.

@Jungle_Jim_UK Yes it is

@alistairsim Currently trying to keep him from eating plastic

@Soberdr @habaneros21 No, was captured from lunar orbit. It’s actually mathematically impossible to capture from earth with any existing optical system

@heymikey80 @johnkrausphotos If hot staging didn’t fry it I think it’ll be ok

@habaneros21 Right where we left it

@hamids The transit was about .5s, in my FOV for .17s

@LeBoogidy No, away from us

@Bumazka25 @LoganQu38009448 That’s not how this works. My telescopes are already shielded from excess light by design

@LeBoogidy Same distance as it was for us minus ~250 miles, about a quarter million miles

@asmilefixer I hope everyone zooms in to see these details

@itsmemac4 I do where they're posted full res (on my patreon)

@Ahsan8898111 No, but I have captured that X many times!
