The moon and International Space Station are two of the brightest objects in the night sky, so whenever they team up, it’s bound to be spectacular. 

On Dec. 2, the Space Station passed over the face of the moon, showing off its pretty silhouette against the craters of Earth’s only natural satellite. 

The station passed over Manchester Township, York County, Pennsylvania as a NASA photographer captured a timelapse of the orbiting space laboratory crossing over the moon’s face from Earth’s perspective.
