月球上那个不寻常的地方是什么？这是国际空间站。通过精确的计时，这个绕地球轨道运行的太空平台在上个月被部分照亮的月亮前拍摄了照片。这张特色合成照片是上个月在美国亚利桑那州佩森拍摄的，它是由国际空间站穿越月球的视频中许多1/2000秒的图像合成而成的。仔细观察这个异常清晰的国际空间站轮廓，可以发现许多太阳能电池板和桁架的轮廓。在左上方可以看到明亮的第谷陨石坑，以及相对粗糙的浅色高地，以及相对光滑的深色高地。在线工具可以告诉你什么时候从你所在的地区可以看到国际空间站。

What's that unusual spot on the Moon? It's the International Space Station. Using precise timing, the Earth-orbiting space platform was photographed in front of a partially lit gibbous Moon last month. The featured composite, taken from Payson, Arizona, USA last month, was intricately composed by combining, in part, many 1/2000-second images from a video of the ISS crossing the Moon. A close inspection of this unusually crisp ISS silhouette will reveal the outlines of numerous solar panels and trusses. The bright crater Tycho is visible on the upper left, as well as comparatively rough, light colored terrain known as highlands, and relatively smooth, dark colored areas known as maria. On-line tools can tell you when the International Space Station will be visible from your area.
