Details:
This is one of the larger fragments of the ASTRO-H mission that apparently has suffered an explosion causing the spacecraft to break up into a number of pieces. This image (with Orion's Belt and the Orion Nebula in the background) shows 9 flashes from one of the larger objects with the time between flashes 0.77 seconds. The objects was about 900km from my camera at the time of the photo.
