The ISS Meets Venus

Explanation: Made with a telescope shaded from bright sunlight by an umbrella, on April 5 a well-planned video captured a crescent Venus shining in clear daytime skies from Shoreline, Washington, USA at 11:57AM Pacific Time. It also caught the International Space Station in this single video frame. In close conjunction with the bright planet, the faint outline of the orbital outpost seen at a range of about 400 kilometers appears to be similar in size to the slender planetary crescent. Of course the ISS is much smaller than Venus. Now appearing as planet Earth’s brilliant morning star and climbing above the eastern horizon in predawn skies, inner planet Venus was nearly 45 million kilometers from Shoreline.

说明: 在2025年的4月5日，美国华盛顿州岸线市（Shoreline）的一位天文爱好者，使用以阳伞遮挡炫目阳光的望远镜，在太平洋时间上午11:57，拍下一部精心策划的影片，成功的记录了在白昼晴朗天空中闪耀的蛾眉相金星。在此同时，影片的某个定格也意外的拍到国际空间站（ISS）。于这个影片定格里，这座轨道高度约400公里的前哨站与明亮金星发生近合，而在视觉上，其隐约的轮廓和纤细的蛾眉相金星大小相近。想当然耳，国际空间站必然远小于金星，目前在日出前以晨星之姿高悬在东方地平线上空的明亮 金星，距离岸线市约有4500万公里远。
