The International Space Station racing across the Moon. At a blistering 8 kilometers per second, the ISS glides across the Moon’s face, momentarily kissing Tycho Crater — a massive impact scar 53 miles wide. Though it appears as if the space station is orbiting the Moon, it’s actually 1,000 times closer to Earth, creating an illusion of proximity. A stunning snapshot, captured by Andrew McCarthy, showcasing the vastness of space and the speed of the ISS. #InternationalSpaceStation #TychoCrater #SpaceExploration #Astronomy #NASA
