Sunday, may 24, Ralph vandebergh from the Netherlands watched the spacecraft HTV-9, launched from Japan on may 21 to deliver cargo to the ISS, and suddenly saw a flash, like an explosion.

"I used my 10-inch telescope to capture a bright flare from the HTV-9, which was heading to the International space station," said vandeberg.

Fortunately, with the ship all right, and the flash was just a reflection of sunlight from his body.

The crew of the space station were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the HTV-9, which delivered into orbit fresh food and materials for the experiment on combustion in microgravity and lithium-ion batteries.
