Description:

This is the ISS passing Jupiter and its moon Io on the 5th November, 2022 over the skies of Brisbane, Australia. I had planned to capture an actual transit, but instead caught an occultation of the ISS and Jupiter's moon Io (see my website link for the raw capture video). The still image shown is the ISS passing by Jupiter just before crossing paths with Io. Talk about lucky imaging!
