🌕✨ 在月球上出現的那個不尋常的點，其實是國際太空站 (International Space Station)。這張照片攝於2019年，拍攝地點是美國加利福尼亞州帕洛阿爾托 (Palo Alto)，在部分照亮的螺旋月 (partially lit gibbous Moon) 前，利用精準計時捕捉到了這台太空平台。曝光時間僅為1/667秒，而國際太空站橫越整個月球的時間約為半秒鐘。仔細觀察這清晰的國際太空站輪廓，可以辨識出無數的太陽能板和結構支架。左下方可以見到明亮的泰克爾克 (Tycho) 京都，以及相對粗糙的淺色地形——高地 (highlands) 和較為平滑的深色區域——海洋 (maria)。下載應用程式可告訴你國際太空站何時能在你所在的地區可見！

What’s that unusual spot on the Moon? It’s the International Space Station. Using precise timing, the Earth-orbiting space platform was photographed in front of a partially lit gibbous Moon in 2019. The featured image was taken from Palo Alto, California, USA with an exposure time of only 1/667 of a second. In contrast, the duration of the transit of the ISS across the entire Moon was about half a second. A close inspection of this unusually crisp ISS silhouette will reveal the outlines of numerous solar panels and trusses. The bright crater Tycho is visible on the lower left, as well as comparatively rough, light colored terrain known as highlands and relatively smooth, dark colored areas known as maria. Downloadable apps can tell you when the International Space Station will be visible from your area. APOD Turns 30!: Free Public Lecture in Cork, Ireland on June 24
