A while back (around seven months ago) I posted an image of ISS (first image), but captured FROM ABOVE (higher orbit). This is the work of Aussie company HEO!
This type of work is really fascinating as things (like satellites) are all moving at high velocities up there (28,000 km/h) - so other things (like other satellites or space stations) zip past quickly. You would then need to 'de-zip' the object to make a crisp clear image.
Well, they've done it again.
This time, imaging the Chinese Space Station (second image) from a distance of 83 kilometres (resolution of 0.17 m/px) 🤯
This is really cool stuff. I promise.

The Chinese Space Stations, showing extended modules and two long arms of solar panels (four rows in total). The image is captured from a BlackSky satellite in a higher orbit.
grainy but detailed image of the international space station, showing its large solar panels and different modules. Several spacecraft attached to the station are also annotated.
