      Explanation: Soaring high in skies around planet Earth, bright planet   
      Saturn was a star of June's morning planet parade. But very briefly on   
      June 24 it posed with a bright object in low Earth orbit, the   
      International Space Station. On that date from a school parking lot in   
      Temecula, California the ringed-planet and International Space Station   
      were both caught in this single high-speed video frame. Though Saturn   
      was shining at +0.5 stellar magnitude the space station was an even   
      brighter -3 on the magnitude scale. That difference in brightness is   
      faithfully represented in the video capture frame. In the challenging   
      image, the orbiting ISS was at a range of 602 kilometers. Saturn was   
      about 1.4 billion kilometers from the school parking lot.
