Goldsworth News 2008 : 003 International Space Station and Shuttle Photos

Today (Tuesday 12th February 2008) there was a very clear sky on the occasion of a close fly-by to Goldsworth Park of the ISS and the Orbiter Atlantis (a photo of which was in the Feb 2008 edition of the Goldsworth News).

The European Columbus module has just been attached to the ISS by the crew of Atlantis.

We have taken photos see below.

The Russian Progress cargo ship was on its way to the ISS as well, but we didn't manage to get a photo of it.

To see when the next fly by will be visit

Seen first here with the moon as it approaches Goldsworth Park and then later we zoom in to see it closer. Looking like a UFO it reflected the sun from different parts of the ISS and Shuttle as it moved across the sky.
