Last night we saw just how bright  half of the  starboard solar array could 
be in certain conditions.

Tonight , the complex was as bright , if not more so.However this time it 
wasn't the arrays , they were hardly illuminated , instead
the truss radiators were the star of the show creating an almost arc like 
crescent of light.

This interesting phenomena can be seen at
