The International Space Station in a dawn pass, as it flies away to the east after passing overhead. This was the morning of July 15, 2017. It is composited with images taken 20 minutes later of a pair of Iridium satellite flares in the dawn, the one below (Iridium 54) being the first to appear, while the one above (Iridium 90) appeared one minute later. Venus is the bright object at lower left in the dawn twilight above Aldbaran and below the Pleaides. Capella is at far left. The waning Moon is at far right.
