The ISS transits the Sun

The International Space Station (ISS) crosses in front of the Sun’s face in this 20-image composite. At the time of this image, the Sun stood 26° above the horizon toward the south, and the ISS was more than 500 miles (800 kilometers) away. This photograph shows the Sun through a filter that transmits the Calcium K line.
