Explanation: On February 2nd, a first quarter
Moon shone in planet Earth's early evening sky. As seen from a location on the US west coast near
Mt. Hamilton, California, the
International Space Station also arched above the horizon, crossing in front of the Moon's sunlit surface. The
space station's transit lasted 0.49 seconds.
