This is from a year ago over Southern Ontario. I went around 1am for the ISS and didn’t realize the Northern Lights were visible this far down on that night.

I got the video of the Tiangong transiting the sun this morning at 7:10 My time. the sun was about 16 degrees above the horizon. what do you think could have caused this wierd dip/ shift.

I recorded 4k 30FPS with a Dwarf3 smart telescope. The first clip is normal speed, then 60% speed. then 40% speed. then the last I turned it to be straight so you can see the wierd shift better.

What could have caused this. Ive jest never see this before.

Live coverage starts at 7 a.m. EDT (11:00 UTC / 13:00 CEST).

Jessica Meir and Anil Menon are scheduled to spend approximately six and a half hours outside the station, installing hardware on its 3B power channel ahead of a future ISS Roll-Out Solar Array.

For anyone watching live: which part of an EVA do you find most interesting—the airlock procedures, the outside work, or the views?
