I managed to capture two of the four ISS passes this evening. Bit of a school boy error and didn't clean the lens of mist before the second pass.. lesson learnt.
Spot the Station
Shot this picture from our vineyard outside of Nicosia, Cyprus on 29 Oct 2013…
The International Space Station travels perpendicularly to the Milky Way and almost crosses paths with another (much smaller and fainter) satellite.

This cutaway view of a half of the Skylab orbital workshop shows details of the living and working quarters. The orbital workshop was divided into two major levels: a lower level for crew living quarters and an upper level station for experiments and equipment. The orbital workshop was designed and built at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.

Wow, a daytime crossing with the afternoon Sun in a position that allowed a reasonable view of the ISS transiting the Waxing Crescent Moon!!
The weather has been near perfect the last few weeks and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to see the ISS crossing in daylight over Brisbane.
Transit time half a second!!

Not that you can see from the lighting, but it's all in lovely black and yellow Blacktron colors, and the guys have a nice mix of black and gold visors.
What's going on here? And who is that devilishly handsome young cosmonaut? ;O)
The idea (and I'm not sure if this works 100%) is that it's a space-craft with two spacewalkers, one of whom has drifted away, the eyes are a reflection on the inside of his helmet, this being his perspective (2001 style)...
This started with a shot of a Soyuz spacecraft from the National Space Centre, the original pic forms part of this mosaic. It really is that decrepit. Obviously it's old and never went into space like that, but I wondered if this was how MIR looked towards the end. And it seemed a fitting monument to the old USSR.
Other elements from the National Space Centre are the space suits (the internal one looks really freaky full sized with my head pasted on!) and a mock-up of inside of the International Space Station. The Space Shuttle is a toy from it's gift shop.
ISS mystery items: also one in the Russian part of the station. Most likely you have one at home!

Sorry it took so long to edit this and get it posted. Many happy returns, and glad to hear you made it past Heinz-Age.

ISS Flyover In Tucson, Arizona.
Here is a composite image of 4 stacked images totaling of around 4 minutes of the ISS flying over Tucson, Arizona. It will also be visible tonight around 8:15PM. Look W-NW for a really fast moving light in the sky.
Sharing is appreciated!
A high fidelity test version of NASA’s Advanced Plant Habitat (APH), the largest plant chamber built for the agency, arrived at Kennedy Space Center the third week of November, 2016. The APH unit, containing small flowering plant seeds, will be delivered to the International Space Station in 2017. via NASA ift.tt/2fremIw
"Shown is a technical rendition of the Space Shuttle Atlantis docked to the Kristall module of the Russian Mir Space Station. The configuration shown is that of STS-71/Mir Expedition 18, a joint U.S. Russian mission completed in June 1995. The Space Shuttle/Mir combination, which was the largest space platform ever assembled, is shown overflying the Lake Baikal region of Russia. The Space Shuttle Atlantis appears in a new configuration for the STS-71 flight. The Russian developed Androgynous Peripheral Docking System (APDS) is used to link the Orbiter to the Kristall module. The APDS is mounted atop the U.S. developed external airlock that connects to a modified tunnel section leading to the Spacelab module in the far aft of the payload bay. Mir is shown in its 6 module configuration. The Kristall module has rotated to the forward docking port of the Mir Base Block to facilitate the docking of the Space Shuttle. The Priroda module is shown extending over the port wing of the Orbiter with its solar panel in the retracted position required by the dynamics of Orbiter/Mir docking. The Kvant 2 airlock module appears parallel to the Orbiter crew module, while the Spektr module is at the nadir and is hidden from view by the port solar panel of the Mir Base Block. The Kvant module is shown at the aft of the Mir Base Block with the solar panels of the Kristall module installed and fully extended. The Soyuz TM transport vehicle used for the launch and docking of the Mir Expedition 18 crew is docked to Kvant. The scene depicts the first of the three phases of a cooperative effort in space between the United States and Russia. The artwork was produced by John Frassanito and Associates"

Tower Complex - Update - 7/04/2016: We were stunned early this morning with again those strange rumblings like earth tremors, which we have confirmed were true, but the sky lit up like the 4th of July, and what we thought was a strange tower complex is actually a very large spacecraft and it launched into space! Now we are receiving information from BLACKstone ElecTRONics claiming their actual name is BLACKTRON and they have launched their space station into orbit around our planet! PLEASE STAY TUNED AS WE RECEIVE MORE INFORMATION!
The title is a collection of random first impressions. The first 2 seconds of any encounter are probably the most important and in that time we make instinctual decisions about whether we like something or not. We may not at that time even know why we like something or not. The "why" of cognitive thought comes later.
Check out the power of instinct and intuition in "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell.
The "menswear" bit comes from the UK 1970s TV sitcom "Are you being served"
Oh and don't worry about the sad tags that's not how I feel about life in general, just the mood evoked from the pic.
this clip is dedicated to all who have to get up early and go to work
Another long exposure of the ISS pass this morning with Progress 56 en route to dock.
Less than 6 hrs after its launch from Kazakhstan, at the time of docking, the station was soaring 259 miles over the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of South America.
Glad to hear the crew got their fruit for breakfast!

International Space Station with Expedition 52 on board crosses the disk of
the Sun through Solar Sunspot Region AR2670 (ex2665).
This was a special transit today as my son Nathan & I were able to watch it
fly overhead from his house!
AR 2670 (ex2665) recently rotated into view. The dark sunspot core is Earth
sized and currently relatively quiet as the solar cycle is swinging toward
Solar Minimum.
Seeing the Space Station transit across the Sun over AR2670 was a rather
cool experience for Nathan & me to witness!
The ISS solar transit was viewed from Capalaba, Brisbane, Queensland,
Australia.
Single image composited from 20 Frames showing the path of the transit
across the Sun.

The International Space Station transits the full moon (Supermoon) on January 30, 2018.
Captured with 4.5 inch Meade reflector telescope (910mm focal length) and ZWO ASI224mc camera. Capture speed was 150 frames per second. Transit duration approximately 0.39 seconds. Video here is about 13x slower.

The ISS 6.49pm pass, 24th Feb 2012, passing the Moon, Venus and Jupiter over the Pentlands, Edinburgh.
Put your crew (or newly discovered alien lifeforms) into deep-freeze suspended animation with this cryogenics module.
A busy evening sky, with the two brightest planets, Venus (at right) and Jupiter (centre) shining in the western twilight above an old abandoned farmhouse, while the Space Station flies up from the west from botton to top, and a bright Iridium satellite flares horizontally across the frame at top. The Iridium flare appears through the Sickle of Leo, with the star Regulus below.
This is a stack of 28 images taken as part of a time-lapse sequence, at a large interval to accommodate longer exposures later in the night, thus th elarge gaps in the satellite trails. The background sky (stars and planets) comes only from one frame to keep the stars and planets as pinpoints and not trailed. The ground comes from 8 of the frames, mean combined as a stack to smooth noise. Taken June 7, 2015 from southern Alberta, with the Nikon D750 and Sigma 24mm Art lens, at ISO 1600 and f/2.8 for 2.5 seconds each.
“Rene A. Berglund, Chief, Space Vehicle Design Branch, Space Technology Division, MSC, is shown here with models of the award winning space station concept which he designed.
Berglund received a $400.00 award from NASA Inventions and Contribution Board.
The circular model represents modular space station concept erected in space. The other model denotes a space station ready for launching.”
