Hello,
I had a transit of the ISS during the lunar eclipse, only 10 miles away from my home. The Moon was very low on the horizon (16°), so the ISS was quite far (1100 km).
To my knwoledge, this is the first lunar eclipse photographed with a simultaneous transit of the ISS.

I trully like the event, not because of the light that gets to the ground when the earth is between the Sun and the Moon, I love this event, because it's the only way we can trully perciben (see) earth's spherical shape.. Yup, pure science evidence.

The Moon with natural hues but exaggerated color saturation.
For the colors, the mean of 54 separate exposures was computed to keep noise down before increasing saturation. Atmospheric distortion caused the the 54-frame average image to be slightly blurry, so colors from that image were transferred onto a grayscale version of a single, sharper exposure.
