    Does this help ? I find it quite misleading as it looks like ISS is visible on a moon scale which isn’t. It’s visible because its far more closer than the moon

      I see your point, but it’s fiction anyway, so I care less. I have a vague sense of how big the ISS is, so seeing it as a dot near a celestial body that we see in the sky all the time really sells the distances for me. If it had been a dot against Jupiter, for example, it wouldn’t have worked for me.
