Indiana Jones: "X" never, ever marks the spot.
The moon spans ~30 arc minutes.
From the ground the ISS solar array spans ~0.75 arc minutes = arctan(73m/335km)

I was to fast or to lazy... hm...
One question: "Is that THE satellite that was shot down?" and the autor said: "I'm afraid not, it's just an artistic PS composition".
I'm sorry...

Well, that certainly quells the speculation. Thanks, lesul!
