The ISS Appears in Front of a Full Moon
The event, whereby the International Space Station (ISS) appears in front of a full moon, happens more often than one would think. It crosses directly in front of the moon (a lunar transit) once every two or three days (during the night hours), and only lasts a couple seconds (the ISS orbits at 7.7 km/s). Catching it during a full moon on a clear night like this photo, however, is probably a once every few lunar cycle opportunity.
As for the visibility, it depends largely on your eyesight I imagine. It would probably appear just a a flying speck across the lunar surface. It’s far easier to catch the ISS whizzing past in the darkness, if its at an angle where the sun reflects off it, almost like a shooting star. If you manage to capture any photo similar to this, you are more than welcomed to send it to me. Don’t worry about the speed of your Internet connection as you can easily find information on broadband deals anywhere on the Internet. Thumbs up!

If you look closely, you can make out the solar panels. I am honestly guessing what the term I.S.S. stands for and which is Identified Space Ship, and therefore say YES there is a I.S.S. in this picture. This does NOT imply that it is an alien ship (even though,in my opinion, that there IS life from and on other worlds), but something more earth/human created (satellite). This is a high resolution photo from a very excellent camera, so it’s a very good bet it’s not photoshoped.
I.S.S stands for International Space Station….NOT identified Space Ship…LOL
Note the black speck
thank god for genius’ like markus!
It is the I.S.S. here is a link to a N.A.S.A site so you can see it looks similar to a satellite. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/onthestation/facts_and_figures.html
Also it’s not a Photo Shop as far as I can tell because the image was not pasted on do it having an exact pixel match.

Great Job.
In memory of our Grandfather, Jesse Marcel Sr., we thought a social network site would be a great way for people to share their experiences with the paranormal. For those of you who do not know who he was, he was the first military officer at the scene of a UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico, commonly referred to as the “Roswell Incident”. This incident set the stage for UFO enthusiasts and Paranormal Investigators around the world to start the questioning, “what is the truth”, “are we alone” “what is our government not telling us”, “what is it that goes bump in the night?” It is has become a part of our everyday culture. Since our father Jesse Marcel Jr., also knew the truth, (after all, his father showed him pieces of the UFO wreckage at the age of 9) he became fascinated with astronomy.
Please tell us your story about UFO.
