Supermoon and Space Station

What are those specks in front of the Moon? They are silhouettes of the International Space Station (ISS). Using careful planning and split-second timing, meticulous lunar photographer Kris Smith captured ten images of the ISS passing in front of a full moon in 2016. But this wasn't just any full moon -- this was the first of the three consecutive 2016 supermoons. A supermoon is a full moon that appears a few percent larger and brighter than most other full moons. The featured image sequence was captured near Dallas, Texas. (via NASA)
