The brighter trail is the International Space Station, as it dims when heading into the earth's shadow. Viewed large it may be possible to see the trails of five other satellites. Those two light blurs are the Magellanic Clouds, themselves small satellite galaxies to the Milky Way.

Thanks, Amelia. I'll guess you found the three satellites to the right. If you take a line from the ISS to a point above the large Magellenic Cloud you should see another long faint one pointing down. The other is near the foot of the image almost straight below.
