国际空间站下方的月影

Eclipse under the ISS

Explanation: The dark shadow of the New Moon reached out and touched planet Earth on June 21. A high definition camera outside the International Space Station captured its passing in this snapshot from low Earth orbit near the border of Kazakhstan and China. Of course those along the Moon’s central shadow track below could watch the much anticipated annular eclipse of the Sun. In the foreground a cargo spacecraft is docked with the orbital outpost. It’s the H-II Transfer Vehicle-9 from JAXA the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.

说明：在6月21日，向太空伸展的新月影子落到地球上。而挂在国际太空站外头的高画质摄影机，从低地球轨道上，恰好拍下这幅影像捕捉到影子掠过哈萨克斯坦共和国和中国的边境。想当然耳，在月亮影子中心掠过地区的人们，得以见到引颈翘望的日环食。影像的前景，可见到一艘停泊在这个轨道前哨站的补给太空船。它是日本宇宙航空研究开发机构（JAXA），所派遗的H-II第8号补给船。
