Or photographer Leonardo Caldas, resident of the Federal District, registered this Saturday (8/14) the passage of the International Space Station – ISS (International Space Station) through the skies of Brasilia. The clicks that yielded the image were made at 6:34 pm in the central area of the capital.
The ISS is a station that orbits planet Earth and is manned by astronauts/cosmonauts. According to NASA, the module was released in 1998 and has the volume of a five-bedroom house.
“The station keeps circling the Earth, but we can only see it at some specific moments”, explains Leonardo, who positioned himself close to the National Congress for the occasion. “The camera takes several pictures, which, after being put together, allow us to see the movement in the sky”.
The photographer is dedicated to recording the passage of other telescopes and stations through space. For this Saturday’s photographic sequence, Leonardo used a Nikon D7500, Rokinon 8mm lens.
