Space Station Double Pass - a photo on Flickriver

            In this photo, the International Space Station (ISS) is catpured two times passing over the city of Linz at the Danube river in Austria.

During the first pass, the ISS crossed the northern sky, passed just below Polaris (the pole star) and exitied the field near the upper right corner of the frame.

Some 90 minutes later, after it has circeled the Earth once, the ISS appeared again. At the second pass, the night has progressed, the sun was lower, and so the ISS disappeared in the Earth's shadow somewhat to the upper right of the cener of the frame.

The two trails left by the ISS cross at the Big Dipper's handle, or the tail of the Great Bear, Ursa major.
