ISS/Endeavour Flyover



The streak of light was made by the Space Station and Shuttle.
This is a ten second exposure.
As the crews prepare to close the hatches later this morning, the Space Station and Shuttle Endeavour flew over New York and New Jersey. At about 4:25 am, a bright white light appeared on the south-western horizon. Over the several minutes, it transited across the sky nearly directly overhead. As they moved to the north-east, the light dimmed and turned yellow as they moved toward the rising sun. It was absolutely beautiful, and so worth waking up at 3:45 am to see it.
