Astro Geek Alert: ISS Transit

Hi All,

Here's another incredible APOD image that illustrates how hard some folks will go to get an astronomical image.

On January 15th, the International Space Station (ISS) traveling 17,100 mph, passed in front of Saturn. The transit lasted a mere 0.02 seconds and the camera placement was critical. 

German astrophotographers was up to the challenge as he captured this video astounding sequence.

End of Geek Alert
