Hi All,

John Sarkissian (CSIRO, CWAS) has made a today's APOD with a beatiful image of ISS & Atlantis over the Parkes Dish.

Hi Alex,

Very fitting to see John's image on APOD today plus the tie-in with Atlantis and ISS
makes it a real winner.

I notice they have all the lights on - perhaps so they can play night cricket in The Dish.
