FYI: The International Space Station may “appear” to be close to the Moon in these images, however, it’s actually hundreds of thousands of miles away from it. The ISS orbits at about 200 miles above the Earth’s surface. The Moon, on average, is approximately 240,000 miles away from Earth.

Hey, wait a minute. If the ISS is so far away from the moon, why does it’s shadow appear sharp and clear on the moon? Something isn’t right.
