APOD 4.5
This picture was taken in Germany last Sunday. The streak throught the picture is the largest artificial moon Earth has, the International Space Station. The moon is a waxing cresent. The little bright dot on the otherside of the line is Jupiter. Jupiter has many moons circling it, its four main ones are called the Galilean moons. In the picture if you look close enough you can see Jupiter's moons as well. It is cool how the trio of objects work together. Earths natural moon, one of its artificial moons, and Jupiter's moons all captured in one picture. This is truely an amazing picture.
