Space/Travel

View looking south over Jackson Bottom Wetlands with the International Space Station (trail on the right) seemingly coming close to a jet turning to land at Portland Airport. The Space Station is of course two hundred miles above in orbit so the illusion is just by chance. The light trail of the ISS fades out as it passes into Earth's shadow.

 

Two additional trails can be seen near the center horizon. The sky was crowded this night!
