ISS Solar Transit: Space Station Crossing in Front of the Sun

NASA photographer Joel Kowsky took a series of snapshots of the International Space Station (ISS) in silhouette transiting in front of the Sun at about 5 miles per second or 18,000 mph (29,000 kph).

At the time that Kowsky took that photo, astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Thomas Pesquet were outside the ISS on a spacewalk to upgrade the space station's power supply.
