Good morning RP. Today's images are titled "ISS from Wallasey" (you need to visit apod.nasa.gov to fully see the ISS). After sunset on March 28th in Wallasey, England, the fast-moving (4 miles per second!) International Space Station was followed by hand with a small backyard telescope and high frame rate digital camera. These are the four best frames showing remarkable details of the ISS in low Earth orbit.

Thank you, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for sharing the NASA picture of the day for April 6 entitled "ISS from Wallasey"

"Explanation: After sunset on March 28, the International Space Station climbed above the western horizon, as seen from Wallasey, England at the mouth of the River Mersey. Still glinting in the sunlight some 400 kilometers above planet Earth, the fast moving ISS was followed by hand with a small backyard telescope and high frame rate digital camera. A total of 2500 frames were recorded during the 7 minute long visible ISS passage and 100 of them captured images of the space station. These are the four best frames showing remarkable details of the ISS in low Earth orbit. Near the peak of its track, about 60 degrees above the horizon, the ISS was brighter than the brightest star in the sky and as close as 468 kilometers to the Wallasey backyard."
Thank you friend TSgt Joe C. for mentioning me.
