The vintage-eroticismmoon and International Space Station are two of the brightest objects in the night sky, so whenever they team up, it's bound to be spectacular.

On Dec. 2, the Space Station passed over the face of the moon, showing off its pretty silhouette against the craters of Earth's only natural satellite.

The station passed over Manchester Township, York County, Pennsylvania as a NASA photographer captured a timelapse of the orbiting space laboratory crossing over the moon's face from Earth's perspective.

At the moment, the station plays host to six crewmembers from the U.S., Russia, and Europe, as they speed around the planet at more than 17,000 miles per hour.

The moon reached its full phase the day after these photos were taken, marking the only so-called "supermoon" of 2017, meaning that the moon was at its closest point in orbit during full phase.

NASA astronauts Joe Acaba, Mark Vande Hei, and Randy Bresnik, Russian cosmonauts Alexander Misurkin and Sergey Ryanzansky, and European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli are all living onboard the station today.

The orbiting laboratory has been occupied by rotating crews of astronauts and cosmonauts since 2000. The station's living space is about the size of a six-bedroom house, according to NASA.
