NASA Watch: Your support is needed, support independent journalism.
Thank you for whatever support you can provide. We recently launched this upgraded website which will allow us to expand our coverage. But the design and hosting come at cost, as does adding new services. We're also going looking to add new journalists as we expand.

I always enjoy these ISS time lapse visual concertos , but this one had a special moment: Comet Lovejoy passing over the trailing horizon at 2:04
Those Scrooge-ish members of Congress who do not see the value of manned space flight obviously never watch any of these ISS time lapse vids. They melt cold hearts.
Fantastic video. I like the special comet moment also. I see jets from a Soyuz at 1:33.
It is an amazing video!
The jets are from a Progress, and appear to be coming from the Refueling Module (replaces the Soyuz Descent Module). I would guess that they are venting of one of the fluids (fuel, oxidizer, water, oxygen, nitrogen) that are carried in this module, but am not certain.
