International Space Station

It isn't a great shot, but it is of the International Space Station as it moved across the sky.
We have been enjoying going out and looking for it when the sky is clear enough.
It is amazing to watch with the naked eye - no telescope needed, and is fairly unmistakable. It moves quickly, but is usually visible for about 5 minutes.
You can check the NASA website for when it is visible where you are at

The shuttle is flying with it right now, too.
