Space shuttle by the Moon

Posted by Aaron Schmidt (Auckland, New Zealand) on 10 August 2005 in Plants & Nature.

On Monday evening, the space shuttle was waiting to make its first attempt to come back to Earth. It just happened to be spinning in orbit over New Zealand right next to the moon and so, of course, I grabbed a pic. (The bright 'star' to the left of the moon is actually the shuttle's headlights.) The picture quality is not great (ISO 1600) but by the time I got the tripod up to get a good shot, the clouds had rolled in.
