ISS Lunar transit in daylight
For a fleeting second , yesterday ISS transitted the Moon in daylight. The event was visible through a narrow corridor stretching across the UK
Following hours of careful planning I managed to catch the transit on video.
If you have ever wondered what ISS looks like in daylight....then check out my website

There are other pictures and animations on the main page showing ISS close up.
