On 1 March, Dirk Ewers captured a fantastic series of images of the ISS passing overhead – and ATV Johannes Kepler and NASA’s Shuttle Discovery are clearly visible. Ewers, based near Kassel, Germany, acquired almost 2000 individual images, from which he stitched together this great animation of the ISS and its docked vessels passing almost directly overhead. Congratulations on these beautiful shots!
