    >Here in Japan, for several evenings last week, we enjoyed ISS flying over

    >company which is located at western Tokyo, we could see very bright ISS on

    >on the roof was watching with binoculars and telescopes since many of us
    >are serious amateur astronomy. And one of our company's best amateur
    >astronomer, Mr. Kondo, took a beautiful shot of ISS. Though it looks small,
    >the pair of solar cell panels are recognizable. He made a nice visual guide
    >about what is shown on that photo. So, here it is on our company's
