The moon alway revolve with the same side facing the earth. So no matter where we are on earth we still see the same side of the moon.

Q2 Is it possible to shoot the ISS ?
What is ISS?

ISS shall be the Space Satelite. I guess?

>cabbyshe: for the Far Side of the Moon, you have to sent me up there to take some shots or you can use Hubble to view the pics. For info the Far side ofthe moon is not so impressive then the usual face.

here the pics from other web.

I'd read somewhere that a guy from US had manage to modify his camera to shoot the moon surface ( meaning a portion of the moon ) and also the ISS ( International Space Station ).

Image a bit blur,( not due to camer shake but could be the lens definition, I think ) but considering it taken shot from the earth's surface I think its amazing.

Thanks for the reply.

Meaning that he's been observing the movement of the ISS.
And he must be using a large scope.

Yap... the Moon will always show the same side due to synchronous rotation with Earth. Below is an image of the far side of the Moon taken by Apollo 16:

ISS is the International Space Station. Yes, it's possible to see and photograph it and you don't need a big telescope to do that. My friend had seen it through his telescope... will try it myself next time. Anyway, here is an amazing photo took by an amateur ( http://www.astrosurf.com/legault/ ) of solar transit of the International Space Station (ISS) and Space Shuttle Atlantis


By the way, the recent space shuttle mission, STS-119, will deliver and install the fourth and final set of solar array wings to the International Space Station. Once the array is deployed, the station will surpass Venus as the brightest object in the night sky, second only to the Moon. So next time you saw a very bright "star" "fly" pass the night sky, don't mistake it as an UFO... it might just be the ISS.

Have a nice day.
