A pass of the International Space Station with Canadian astronaut David St. Jacques on board, on the evening of January 26 2019. The ISS is moving from right to left, southwest to southeast. The ISS faded and reddened naturally into sunset at top left in Taurus. Just before it did that it passed through the Hyades star cluster and just missed Aldebaran. Interestingly, the ISS seemed to track along the ecliptic here, made somewhat visible by the faint arc of the Zodiacal Light reaching up from the horizon at right and stretching across the sky to the upper left. The ISS coincidentally travelled parallel to, but just below the Zodiacal Light, which follows the ecliptic. Some red streaks of airglow are also visible. Taken from southern Alberta, Canada. | |
