NASA publishes a photo of ISS flying over face of moon

This photograph might just look like an image of the moon – but look closer and you may just see something fantastic. What makes this one so cool is that the space station’s silhouette looks like a tiny Z, nearly like a reminder of human ingenuity stamped on the moon’s cratered face.

Earlier this week, NASA pointed its cameras at the Moon, and it captured this stunning image of the worldwide Space Station (ISS) transiting the Lunar surface.

Now a crew of 6 works at the worldwide Space Station.

There are now six crew members on board the ISS, which orbits some 300 miles above Earth.

Now onboard the ISS are NASA astronauts Scott Kelly and Kjell Lindgren; Russian Cosmonauts Gennady Padalka, Mikhail Kornienko, Oleg Kononenko, and Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui. Pretty spectacular, no? The scale is absolutely phenomenal; the ISS is about the size of a football field, so it gives you an idea of moon’s relatively small stature.

The photo, taken Sunday, shows the space station crossing the moon at approximately five miles per second, NASA said.
