NASA Astronomy Pictures of the Week: Moons crossing Jupiter, aurora and more
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day takes us on a virtual journey of the fascinating Universe. This week, NASA has shared snaps of Earth's largest human-made satellite, Moons crossing Jupiter, Shark Nebula, Aurora, and more.
Largest Satellites of Earth: Earth's largest human-made satellite -- the International Space Station (ISS) has been captured crossing nearly in front of the Moon. (Tianyao Yang)

Shark Nebula: It is a snapshot of LDN1235, also known as the Shark Nebula. It is situated approximately 650 light-years away in the constellation of Cepheus in the Northern sky. This celestial formation primarily consists of interstellar dust, creating a veil that conceals a significant portion of the emitted light. (Stephen Kennedy)

Globular Star Cluster: Captured by NASA's Hubble Telescope, a globular star cluster, known as Messier 15, is one of the densest ever discovered, with hot blue stars and cooler orange stars becoming more concentrated toward its bright core. (NASA/ESA/Hubble)
