Testerday, May 25th, the International Space Station was flanked by two Russian Progress rockets. Progress 13, filled with trash to be burned in Earth's atmosphere, has just undocked from the ISS and it's pulling away from the space station. Meanwhile, Progress 14, carrying supplies from Earth, is chasing the ISS. Docking will occur on May 27th.

You might be able to see all three spaceships if the ISS flies over your hometown in the days ahead.
