If I knew what it was, there would be no need for me to post it. Yes, I didn't say "What is it?" I said "what do you think it might be?"
No-one knows what it is but we can all offfer an opinion and believe me some (including my own) are really way out there on this forum.
You are probably right... a satellite.
OK, we can all calm down now because some of us may have thought it one of those alien beings which live out there in space near the ISS that occasionally get caught in the photos.
Don't forget that it's most likely SDI technology in orbit out there - with the ISS as window dressing....why afterall are most of the satellites pointed towards the stars and not down on Earth - just saying, This is a bit cryptic, could you explain a little please?
The astronaut was taking a picture of the ISS, but caught something else too.... Willease - so what do you think these might be? Rather than throwing a question out there for us to consider, perhaps you offer your own explanation first and then we can throw in our suggestions too.

both 7688 and 7687 have one (or two) orange/green things which are revealed when the brightness is turned up. They appear middle-left of the image. Do you think they are part of the spacecraft possibly?
Probably simply it is physically impossible to lay out all works on a public inspection?
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has made over one million observations during its more than two decades in orbit. New images are published nearly every week, but hidden in Hubble's huge data archives are some truly breathtaking images that have never been seen. They're called Hubble's Hidden Treasures, and you can now help to bring them to light.............
well, I get a 404 if I replace the 'small' with medium, but I get asked to enter a username and password if I replace 'small' with 'large'. Thats what I mean by protected. Just because all NASA images are public domain, does not mean we get to see all of them, does it? We can only see what we know is available. What we dont know is available, we will never ask to see.

The first one could be his watch and the second is a reflection light on a control panel. However, since they are not double images or double reflections, it probably is something out there (cue the spooky music). Good find. shame the http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/sseop/images/ESC/large/STS132/STS132-E-7688.jpg is protected
