The International Space Station was evacuated with the crew being sent to the Space capsule Sojus as 'space-junk' threatened to collide with the space station, Aftenposten reported on June 28. The 'junk' passed the Space station at a distance of 250 metres. Impact was considered unlikely, but the evacuation was taken as a saftey procedure.

This occured as Venus joined with the Moon's South nodes in the air sign Gemini.
The ISS is located in an orbit 350 km over the Earth's surface.

A similar incident was registered in March 2009. I do not have the exact date, but it is likely Venus was retrograde.

On the general subject of the ISS here is a picture of Annular Eclipse of 4th January 2011. The dark spot on the bottom is the shadow of the Moon while the spot on the top (looking like an Imperial fighter from Star Wars) is that of the ISS crossing the Sun.
