The ISS transits the Full Moon in May 2016 Once the team knew when the pass would happen, they used a digital camera to fire a burst of exposures, capturing multiple moments of the silhouetted spacecraft. The photo above was made by superimposing 13 separate images of the ISS passing in front of the Moon into one. Full Moon is best, since it’s the biggest the moon can appear, but anything from a half-moon up and up will do. Only about a half second! To see it with your own eyes, you need to know exactly when and where to look. One-one thou… That’s how long it takes for the International Space Station, traveling at over 17,000 mph (27,300 kph), to cross the face of the Full Moon.

Several members of the European Space Agency’s Astronomy Center captured these views of the International Space Station near Madrid, Spain on January 14 as it flew or transited in front of the full moon.
