Can you spot it? This stunning image taken by atronauts on the ISS shows an aircraft passing over the Great Exuma Island in the Bahamas
The aircraft is so small that it can only be seen when zooming in, shown as a white silhouette against the blue ocean.

The plane wasn’t the target of the image. Instead, the astronaut wanted to capture the small island cays in the Bahamas and the prominent tidal channels cutting between them.
According to Nasa, this is one of the most recognisable points on the planet for astronauts on the space station.
The string of cays -stretching 8.9 miles (14.24km) in this image - extends west from Great Exuma Island.
