APOD: 2022 August 25 - Tiangong Space Station Transits the Moon

Good afternoon, Rallypoint, and welcome to the August 25th edition of Astronomy PIcture of the Day (APOD): "Tiangong Space Station Transits the Moon." Captured August 20th in Australia, this composite image features the Chinese Tiangong Space Station as it transits the Moon. The colors on the lunar surface are enhanced to highlight the different chemical compositions found on the lunar surface.

Transit shots like this one involve a whole lot of planning (not to mention some good hardware). The focus on the lunar surface provides a nice finishing touch.
