International Space Station Pictures

With most of the construction of the International Space Station now complete, it’s quite an impressive sight to see. In fact, the space station is the brightest manmade object in space. It’s easy to see if you just know when and where to look. Check out our ISS tracking page with links to resources to find the station.

Here are some cool International Space Station pictures.

Here’s a cool image of the International Space Station captured by the space shuttle. It shows the station in orbit above the Earth.

You don’t get to see the full station in this picture, but it’s a beautiful view of the Earth’s horizon off to the side.

Another great image of the International Space Station.

We have written many many articles about the International Space Station for Universe Today. Here’s an article about how the station is so bright now it’s visible during the daytime. Here’s a link to NASA’s gallery of space station images.
