Details:
The Chinese Tianhe-1 space station module has been making some brilliant passes across Middle America in the predawn hours. In addition is the uncontrolled and tumbling Long March 5B booster which helped loft the station into orbit. Both are very bright and shining as bright as or brighter than the star Vega. The booster brilliantly flares in reflected sunlight as it tumbles along Tianhe’s path.
Canon 60Da, ISO 400, f/3.5 @ 35mm, 10 second exposures.
