A stack of 13 exposures, each 40 seconds, showing the International Space Station going across the sky from west (left) to east (right) almost directly overhead. I shot this from home, May 30-31, 2014 (on a 2:15 am pass) with an 8mm fish-eye lens and Canon 6D. Some glow of perpetual twilight and aurora lights the northern sky at bottom. The Milky Way is trailed at right.
I've been offline for a few days. Well, I spend these days well, as I have been asked to be the exclusive photographer on board of the brandnew dutch space station "the flying dutchman". You can see it yourself as a small spot making circles around the moon.
With this picture I have the honour to reveal this -until now- very secret project. The dutch government asked me to stress that this will not have consequences for their cooperation within the ESTEC space programme, and other international programmes.
The only worry I have is whether this will this classify for my course " night photography" ..
O, let me add: while this is a space people usually can't enter, there's no photoshop manipulation involved in making this picture other than some framing and tilting.
Howard Levine, Ph.D., a research scientist at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, reviews the growth of several tomato plants in a laboratory in the Space Station Processing Facility. The tomato plants are growing in the Veggie Passive Orbital Nutrient Delivery System (PONDS). Veggie PONDS is a direct follow-on to the Veg-01 and Veg-03 hardware and plant growth validation tests. The primary goal of this newly developed plant growing system, Veggie PONDS, is to demonstrate uniform plant growth. PONDS units have features that are designed to mitigate microgravity effects on water distribution, increase oxygen exchange and provide sufficient room for root zone growth. PONDS is planned for use during Veg-04 and Veg-05 on the International Space Station after the Veggie PONDS Validation flights on SpaceX-14 and OA-9. Photo credit: NASA/Cory Huston

SL3-28-009 (July-September 1973) --- A near vertical view of the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota area, as photographed from Earth orbit by one of the six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment in the Multiple Docking Adapter of the Skylab space station. A 150mm lens, with SO-356 high definition Ektachrome film, was used to take this picture. The Mississippi River flows southeasterly through this large metropolitan area. Minneapolis is on the west bank of the Mississippi. The Minnesota River makes a large bend at the southern edge of the picture then flows northeasterly to empty into the Mississippi at Minneapolis-St. Paul. The St. Croix River, which serves as a portion of the boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin, flows into the Mississippi downstream from the twin cities. A long, nearly straight, stretch of Interstate 35 leads southward from Minneapolis-St. Paul. Interstate 94 parallels the Mississippi toward the northwest. The highway and road network in the area is clearly visible. Note the numerous small lakes in the photograph. This view includes the smaller cities of Hastings, Faribault, Owatonna, Mankato, St. Peter, New Ulm and St. Cloud. The S190-A experiment is part of the Skylab Earth Resources Experiments Package.

SL3-34-056 (July-September 1973) --- A near vertical view of an 8,000 square-mile area of the Grand Erg Oriental in east central Algeria as photographed from Earth orbit by one of the six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment in the Multiple Docking Adapter of the Skylab space station. The Grand Erg contains vast areas of sand dunes and sand plains. This photograph illustrates the variety of surface features that are characteristic of the Sahara Desert. The dark areas are relatively sand free, and may contain rock outcrops along which travel is considerably easier. Sand dunes are abundant in this picture, and their size, shape, location and pattern are due to the underlying topography and direction of the prevailing winds. Scientists interested in study of dune fields will be able to use this photograph for detailed analysis of the dune features, especially their characteristics adjacent to the sand-free areas. Federal agencies participating with NASA on the EREP project are the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers.

SL3-45-020 (July-September 1973) --- A vertical view of the Virginia-Tennessee-Kentucky border area as photographed from Earth orbit by one of the six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment aboard the Skylab space station. This picture was taken with type 2443 infrared color film. The S190-A experiment is part of the Skylab Earth Resources Experiments Package. The long, narrow ridge is Pine Mountain; and it is crossed by U.S. 25E at Pineville near its southernmost end. Some 25 miles south of Pineville U.S. 25E passes through the famed Cumberland Gap which at 1,600 feet elevation crosses Cumberland Mountain. Kingsport, Tennessee is located east of Cumberland Gap near the center of the picture. Bristol, Tennessee-Virginia is further east. Greenville and Elizabethton, Tennessee can also be seen in this photograph. The clouds across the southeast edge of the picture are over the Blue Ridge Mountains. Federal agencies participating with NASA on the EREP project are the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers.

Es Safa Volcanic Field, Syria is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 24 crew member on the International Space Station. This photograph highlights a part of the striking landscape of the Es Safa Volcanic Field located to the southeast of Damascus, Syria. The basaltic volcanic field is part of the larger Harrat Ash Shamah-the largest volcanic field on the Arabian tectonic plate. Harrat Ash Shamah parallels the Red Sea and extends from northeastern Israel, through southern Syria and Jordan, and into Saudi Arabia covering an area of over 50,000 square kilometers. According to scientists, the Es Safa Volcanic Field contains numerous vents active during the Holocene Epoch (beginning approximately 12,000 years ago). The most recent recorded activity was a boiling lava lake observed in the area around 1850. The dark lava flow field at center likely represents the latest activity of the Es Safa Volcanic Field, and is emplaced over older, lighter colored flows. The older flow surfaces also have light tan sediment accumulating in shallow depressions, in contrast to the relatively pristine surfaces of the darker, younger flows. Cinder cones are scattered throughout the Es Safa field, but many cones are aligned along northwest-southeast trends that likely indicate faults through which magma rose to the surface -- two such cinder cone alignments are visible at left. To the southeast (right) a small reservoir is visible that feeds water distribution ditches extending northwards.

At 1:16pm (ET) today (Wednesday, December 5, 2018) #SpaceX successfully launched and (quasi-) landed a shiny-new #BlockV #Falcon9 rocket, the #CRS16 mission carrying supplies (including non-moldy mouse food) to the International Space Station.
Space shuttle Discovery, piloted by copilot Pam Melroy, backs away from the ISS over Brazil following installation of theZ1 truss.IMAX 3D 30-mm fisheye lens exaggerates the Earth's curvature (and makes the view alignment tough). This picture has several problems, but still seemed worth sharing. Original Photo © 2001 IMAX, NASA

This is a perfect example of dumb luck. The night was terrible for photography, iffy even for visual observing. The wind was incessant and gusting to about 20 mph, shaking the telescope and camera. The seeing was pretty bad, too. It was dark up on the ridge, but that's all.
Venus and the Beehive star cluster (M44 in Cancer) were low, dipping into the western horizon in twilight. I couldn't even focus the camera, between the wind and my astigmatism. I started to not even shoot at all. But I did a rough setup, didn't bother with the autoguider, set the intervalometer to shoot twenty 30-second exposures, and wandered around the Blue Mountain Observatory star party. Somebody said "Ooh, look! The ISS!" when the Space Station was cruising right overhead. Nice and bright.
When I went back to the camera to review my shots, this is what I found on one of the frames. The ISS, dead center and artfully diagonal, trailed from lower right to upper left. Otherwise, the entire batch were throwaways. As it is, I tossed half of the frames to get this pretty weak result from stacking the survivors of the cull.
I couldn't have planned it. No way. If I'd tried to get that shot, I would have missed it by a few seconds for sure. Maybe the ISS orbital calculation would have been a little off, maybe the crew would have maneuvered the station so it was a little early or late. Something would have prevented it. You gotta love dumb luck, even when it tosses you a blurry picture.
