Explanation:
A darker Moon sets over Manhattan in this night skyscape.
The 16 frame composite was assembled from consecutive
exposures recorded during the
November
8 total lunar eclipse.
In the timelapse sequence stars leave short trails above the
urban skyline,
while the Moon remains immersed
in Earth's shadow.
But the International Space Station was just emerging
from the shadow
into the sunlit portion of its low Earth orbit.
As seen from
New York City, the visible streak of this ISS flyover starts
near a star in Taurus and tracks right to left,
through the belt of Orion and over Sirius, alpha star of Canis Major.
Gaps along the bright trail of the fast moving orbital outpost
(and an aircraft flying closer to the horizon)
mark the time between individual exposures in the sequence.
The trail of bright planet Mars is at the top of the frame.
Pleiades
star cluster trails are high over the eclipsed Moon and
Empire State Building.
