ISS and the Moon C013 / 5148
ISS and the Moon. The International Space Station (ISS, upper left) is orbiting the Earth here at an altitude of around 390 kilometres. The Moon orbits the Earth at a distance of around 385, 000 kilometres, nearly 1000 times as far, but is far larger, being around 3480 kilometres across compared to the ISS width of around 100 metres. The ISS takes a few minutes to cross the sky, orbiting the Earth every 92 minutes. The Moon rises and sets daily due to the rotation of the Earth, taking just over 27 days to complete its orbit.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring sight of the International Space Station (ISS) and the Moon in a single frame. The ISS, depicted in the upper left corner, gracefully orbits our planet at an altitude of approximately 390 kilometers. In contrast, the Moon's orbit extends to a staggering distance of around 385,000 kilometers from Earth. Despite this vast separation, the Moon appears significantly larger than the ISS due to its impressive diameter of about 3,480 kilometers compared to the space station's width of merely 100 meters. The ISS swiftly traverses across our sky within a few minutes as it completes an orbit around Earth every 92 minutes. On the other hand, we witness daily lunar phenomena such as moonrise and moonset caused by Earth's rotation while it takes slightly over 27 days for our celestial companion to complete its own orbit. Captured on January 4th, 2012 from Houston, Texas in the United States by NASA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this image not only highlights technological marvels like space flight but also invites us to ponder upon cosmic scales and distances. It serves as a reminder that even though seemingly small when compared to celestial bodies like our Moon or planets within our solar system; human ingenuity has allowed us to venture beyond Earth's boundaries with remarkable achievements like constructing and maintaining an orbital outpost such as the International Space Station.
