Follow the trail of two space station in one image with the sense of awe

NASA  has shared a spectacular image of the space station trail in time-lapse and this image is NASA astronomy picture of the day.  This image has been taken on 3rd January that shows the ISS international space station and Chinese space station illuminated by sunlight in low Earth orbit. The ISS international space station was launched into space on 20th November 1998. Since then NASA has been using it to conduct various experiments.

With the same vision of establishing its own space station, China also launched its own space station in space on 29th April 2021 with the name Tiangong. China’s Tiangong can be seen image just below the inverted Big Dipper asterism of Ursa Major near the peak of its bright arc against a starry background. Just 5 minutes before the Tiangong, ISS was captured. Its trail can be traced above the W shape outlined by bright stars of Cassiopeia near the northern horizon. If we talk about the members of the ISS program they belong to the US, Japan, Canada, Russia and ten member states of the European Space Agency and several other countries.
