APOD 4.5


 In this picture you see the ISS streaking through this lovely skyview with clouds in silhouette against the fading light of a magnificent sunset. Just below and left of the young crescent is Jupiter. Briefly, Jupiter and these moons of Earth formed the remarkably close triple conjunction. Of course the moons of Jupiter are tiny pin pricks when closely examining this photo, which could be a triple conjunction of its own.
