ISS on Tycho. Just awesome. The photographer has some pictures of previous lunar transits at earlier stages of ISS construction.
I made my first earth to moon then back again flight to day but the XR2 exploded on re-entry
Whoa that looks cool. Any information on how fast the ISS' shadow moves across the Moon?
As cjp says, you are seeing the silhouette of the ISS, not its shadow.Whoa that looks cool. Any information on how fast the ISS' shadow moves across the Moon?
Are you sure? I'm pretty sure the ISS is casting a shadow on the sun right there.As cjp says, you are seeing the silhouette of the ISS, not its shadow.
As for the transit time, it can be calculated accurately if you know all the parameters but some quick estimates indicate approx 0.5s depending on the position of the moon and the ISS at the time (less if it doesn't cross the full disk).
Do a Google image search for more. One of my favourites:

Damn... it already snows here... I thought this will start this afternoon
Why "damn"? It already melts here, and this is really "damn".

No snow here yet, I haven't seen snow for years. Now I only a serious storm here. The roof sounds like it can be blown off every moment, but it probably won't: it's been on the house for more than 50 years.
If we get a cold winter, then maybe we will have one last Elfstedentocht, before the climate really starts taking off...
Stiff upper lip, old boy!Lucky for some people I don't get snow I just get wind and rain
