Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Reflecting the International Space Station." What happens when a plan comes together? Magic. In the early evening of March 25 over Wulfsahl-Gusborn Lake in northern Germany, this composite image of five exposures captures the light trail of the International Space Station (ISS) as it transits the sky between the constellations Taurus and Orion. The still waters of Wulfsahl-Gusborn are the icing on the cake. Simply magnificent.

APOD background "Explanation: Still bathed in sunlight, the International Space Station arced through the evening sky over lake Wulfsahl-Gusborn in northern Germany, just after sunset on March 25. The familiar constellation of Orion can be seen left of the trail of the orbital station's bright passage. On the right, Venus is the brilliant evening star above the western horizon. With the camera fixed to a tripod, this scene was captured in a series of five exposures. How can you tell? The short time delay between the end of one exposure and the beginning of the next leaves small gaps in the ISS light trail. Look closely and you'll also see that the sky that appears to be above the horizon is actually a reflection though. The final image has been vertically inverted and the night skyscape recorded in the mirror-like waters of the small lake."
