Hello everyone! Thanks for checking out my image. This picture is a 10 photograph composite that shows the path of the International Space Station passing by yesterday's crescent moon as it orbits 250 miles above Earth at roughly 17,500mph. The transit lasted just a fraction of a second and was not visible to the naked eye. I had to travel to a specific location and use a very accurate clock to time and position the shot perfectly. To make things more interesting, the shot was taken on the Space Coast of Florida, just a few miles from where the pieces of the ISS were first taken into space. If you would like to see more images of rocket launches and beautiful scenery from Brevard County, Florida, feel free to find me on Instagram @marcuscote_photo where I currently take and upload an original photo every single day as part of a 2017 daily photo challenge!

Lies. Everyone knows there's only one ISS in orbit. There are ten in this photo. Must be 'shopped.
:P
Kidding, of course. This is a great shot!

If you zoom in they almost look like space Invaders
