What’s That in the Night Sky?
The night sky has really been showing off lately. During the past week, we’ve had the chance to see some amazing sights by simply just looking up!
On Wednesday, Dec. 29, we were greeted by a flyby of the International Space Station over much of the east coast.
When the space station flies overhead, it’s usually easy to spot because it’s the third brightest object in the night sky. You can even enter your location into THIS website and get a list of dates/times when it will be flying over you!
One of our NASA Headquarters Photographers ventured to the Washington National Cathedral to capture the pass in action.
Then, on Saturday, Dec. 2, just one day before the peak of this month’s supermoon, the space station was seen passing in front of the Moon.
Captured by another NASA HQ Photographer, this composite image shows the space station, with a crew of six onboard, as its silhouette transits the Moon at roughly five miles per second.
Here’s an animated version of the transit.
To top off all of this night sky greatness, are these beautiful images of the Dec. 3 supermoon. This marked the first of three consecutive supermoons taking the celestial stage. The two others will occur on Jan. 1 and Jan. 31, 2018.
A supermoon occurs when the moon’s orbit is closest to Earth at the same time that it is full.
Are you this pilot? An aircraft taking off from Ronald Reagan National Airport is seen passing in front of the Moon as it rose on Sunday.

Szent Gotthárd-hágó kereskedelmi útvonal
A Szent Gotthárd-hágót és az ott haladó kereskedelmi útvonalat bemutató animációs film kulcsfázisainak megrajzolására kértek fel nemrég. Az animálás módja miatt a rajzok mindegyike csak néhány, megszakítás nélküli vonalból állhatott. Az filmhez összesen tizennégy rajz készült, amiből kettőt (Goethét és a lovast) Bogi rajzolt meg csodaszépen. A kész rajzokból a svájci Crafft Kommunikation készített animációt, akiknek ezúton is köszönöm a felkérést! A busz zötyögő animációja ugye milyen király lett?
St. Gotthard Pass Trading Route
I was commissioned to draw key frames for an animated short movie, that presents the history of Gotthard Pass. At the end fourteen illustrations were made, two of them by Boglárka Nádi (Goethe and the horse rider). All of the illustrations contain just few continous lines because of the metamorphosis. The short movie was animated and produced by Zürich based Crafft Kommunikation whom I’d like to say thanks for the assignment! The animation of the wobbling bus is awesome, isn’t it?
