Just imagine, when you look up on a clear night, something catches the corner of your eye. It grows in brightness until it passes over head. That will most likely be the International Space Station (ISS). It's amazing to think there are astronauts onboard when you observe it pass overhead.
The famous laboratory orbits the Earth 400km above its surface at speeds of 27,000km/h. In other words, at that speed, the ISS completes a full orbit around the Earth in 90 minutes. Because it is a bright, fast-moving subject, learning how to photograph the ISS with your camera is relatively easy. It just requires planning and research to know where the ISS will rise and set, at what time, and most importantly, if the weather is clear enough to watch the ISS pass overhead.
