ISS buzzes Jupiter and Io

[meltaxa (Dennis)]

Last night I was fortunate to have the clouds part over the north of Brisbane, Australia as the ISS passes Jupiter and it's moon Io. The video (see link below) begins with the raw capture footage (1.6 ms; 400 gain; 144 fps), then a slow motion replay and ends with a blended ISS track and stacked Jupiter.

Great timing Dennis. That's the best one I've seen.

Fantastic capture Dennis, well done! It looks like a scene from Star Wars.

Excellent bit of work that, and I agree...it does look like something from Star Wars.

Here is the Star Wars version.

​A fighter that size couldn’t get this deep into space on its own. Wait. That's no moon!
