Nice capture!

It takes less than 1/2 of a second for the ISS to transit the surface of the sun, (.49 of a second so it's not much less) so this guy must be good!

No, I pretty sure if you're going to point your camera at the sun, you're going to want to take a picture of something other than just a big yellow ball.

Well, some people like to take photos of the sun for the sunspots, also, some people believe in 2012 and want to try to take pics of 'Nibiru'. Whatever, just sayin maybe it was just luck And, how would he know it was there to even snap the photo??

 

[phoenix77]

@ F-pyro, maybe the ISS was going the OTHER way !!!! Fabulous photo, whichever way it was travelling.........rob

 

[bloompyle]

OR maybe, it's going the another direction that we haven't said yet.....?
