Video captures moment SpaceX and International Space Station flying over Bristol

At a time when attention has been turned towards our skies in recent days a photographer has captured the moment the International Space Station flew over Bristol this weekend. 

Bob Holder-White caught the moment the International Space Station flew over Clifton Suspension Bridge at 10.59pm on Friday (May 29).

A 20-second exposure shows the path and trail of the International Space Station passing between both Clifton Suspension Bridge and the moon.

Elon Musk was able to successfully launch a SpaceX rocket into the sky with two astronauts in on Saturday after the first attempt failed due to bad weather.

Billy Swaby managed to capture the footage as the SpaceX rocket flew over Bristol.
