Does anyone know if this is a real time movie, or time-lapse? The
object appears to be large and right at the ISS, but it could be a small
object, much closer.
But no, I don't know *what* it is :-)

Yes, I forgot to put a smiley in there, and when I noticed soon
after and tried to supercede the article in question it wasn't
showing up on my news server to be able to do that. Seriously
though, if the ISS is routinely dumping waste it could be pretty
much anything that they've chucked out of the window. I would have
thought there'd be little chance of damage to the ISS since any
waste will be travelling at a similar speed to it before its orbit
decays, but that doesn't protect anything else in orbit.
