A rare sight: 4 different spaceships in one photo. Overall there are 6 spacecraft docked to the International @Space_Station right now, to utilize this unique laboratory to the max. 2 x Soyuz, 2 x Progress, a Cygnus and a Dragon.

Alyn Wallace @alynwallace

Possibly the most insane single exposure I've ever taken. Just as I asked my friend Jens to point at Comet 46P/Wirtanen, a meteor streaked underneath the open star cluster Pleiades (M45).
Jens - 150m
Meteor - 85 km
Comet 46P - 11 million km
Pleiades - 444 light years
