The International Space Station is seen in this third of a second exposure passing between Saturn, top, and Jupiter, bottom, as it flies over Alexandria, Virginia, Friday, Dec. 11, 2020. Onboard are: NASA astronauts Kate Rubins, Shannon Walker, Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins; Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Soichi Noguchi; Russian cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov, and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov. Saturn and Jupiter are drawing closer to each other in the sky as they head towards a “great conjunction” on December 21, where the two giant planets will appear a tenth of a degree apart.
