It's the Monday Neatorama collaboration image!
And what an image. This was the
Earth Picture of the Day yesterday. And
IotD has actually covered this phenomenon before.
The two diagonal flares you see are Iridium satellites, reflecting sunlight back to the Earth from their low orbit. Our previous IotD showed these same kinds of flares, but the reason this shot is so much more incredibly impressive is that the photographer actually calculated where and when to take the shot, anticipating the flares and how to shoot them against an interesting foreground.
