ISS light trail over a vineyard, time-exposure image. The light trail across top is the track of the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS orbits the Earth at a height of around 360 kilometres. It takes 92 minutes to complete an orbit, and has been crewed since October 2000. Photographed in 2015, above a vineyard of the Herdade da Coitadinha estate, part of the Alqueva Dark Sky Reserve, Portugal.
