The ROSAT satellite on 14 October 2011
This image shows the German X-ray satellite on 14 October 2011, nine days before its re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. It was acquired using a 25-centimetre telescope located roughly one kilometre west of Aachen, on the German-Dutch border. The ROSAT telescope (main body) and the solar panels are clearly visible.
