Description2017 Total Solar Eclipse - ISS Transit (NHQ201708210304).jpg
English: NASA photographers on the ground, in the air, and in orbit were using their cameras to capture unforgettable views of the eclipse. The photograph below is a composite, made from seven frames, that shows the International Space Station (ISS) as it transited the Sun at roughly 5 miles (8 kilometers) per second. It was taken on August 21, 2017, from Banner, Wyoming. On board the station as part of Expedition 52 were: NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson, Jack Fischer, and Randy Bresnik; Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazanskiy; and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Paolo Nespoli. See a video of the ISS transiting the Sun here.
