ISS transiting the Moon as Easter egg?

[jairoamaral]

I was using Stellarium to check the lunar eclipse of 14 March 2025 at its maximum (about 06h53 UT), and I just saw the outline of the ISS crossing right in the middle of the lunar disk. There was no prediction for that, I had never seen that feature before and I couldn't reproduce it, so I can only guess that was an Easter egg from the developers. Has anyone else seen that?

Nice idea, but no Easter eggs here.

ISS has been observed many times over the moon. You just need to be at the right place. To predict/simulate in Stellarium, you need good orbital elements which are auto-updated. (An update can also be forced in the satellites settings panel.) When you can no longer reproduce it, the elements were probably updated.
