      Explanation: What's that unusual spot on the Moon? It's the   
      International Space Station. Using precise timing, the Earth-orbiting   
      space platform was photographed in front of a partially lit gibbous   
      Moon last month. The featured composite, taken from Payson, Arizona,   
      USA last month, was intricately composed by combining, in part, many   
      1/2000-second images from a video of the ISS crossing the Moon. A close   
      inspection of this unusually crisp ISS silhouette will reveal the   
      outlines of numerous solar panels and trusses. The bright crater Tycho   
      is visible on the upper left, as well as comparatively rough, light   
      colored terrain known as highlands, and relatively smooth, dark colored   
      areas known as maria. On-line tools can tell you when the International   
      Space Station will be visible from your area.
