International Space Station (55/366)

The streak on the left of frame is the International Space Station. There are six humans in there (Anton Shkaplerov, Dan Burbank (Commander), Anatoly Ivanishin, André Kuipers, Oleg Kononenko and Don Pettit), all travelling at more than 17,000mph somewhere between 234 and 247 miles above the surface of the Earth. It's incredible to me.

Thanks to many people on my Twitter stream talking about it, I've been trying to get a shot of ISS during one of its many visible orbits. I've also shown it to the children, who totally GET how awesome it is. This shot also features the moon (sadly not all in frame), Venus and Jupiter.
