CrISS-cross SUN
To catch the International Space Station flying in front of the sun requires split-second timing, precise geo-location, and a fair amount of luck. On June 26th, astrophotographer Fins Eirexas did it twice. He took this picture from Santiago de Compostela in the northwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula.



"The space station 'crISS-crossed' the sun in a double transit about 40 km from my home," he says. "One pass happened in the morning (09:45 UT), the other in the afternoon (16:12 UT). Both lasted no more than a fraction of a second."
Eirexas knew when and where to look thanks to predictions from Calsky cot com. Check it out. The International Space Station could be the only spot you'll see on the sun for quite a while.
ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR EYES WHEN VIEWING THE SUN!
