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, Gudrun. Well spotted. I find it fascinating how many satellites show in astro images like this - "space junk" is indeed becoming a real problem I fear.

Thanks, Graham. No, I probably should, but I find my bed too comfortable. Update: just looked outside and I have a good excuse - it's cloudy. :-)
