A stunning long-exposure photograph captures the final pass of the Mir space station over Salvador, Brazil. The station's streak is prominently displayed alongside star trails and a brief flare. The Hubble Space Telescope also makes a cameo appearance, its trail visible shortly after Mir's. The image beautifully depicts the end of an era in space exploration.
