Explanation:
On June 8,
Venus was not the only celestial object to pass in front of the Sun.
A few well-situated photographers caught the
International Space Station
also crossing the Sun simultaneously.
Pictured above is a unique time-lapse image of the unprecedented double transit,
a rare event that was visible for less than a
second from a narrow band on
Earth.
The above
image is a combination of
12 frames taken 0.033 seconds apart and each
themselves lasting only 1/10,000 th of a second.
The image was taken from the small village of
Stupava in
Slovakia.
The next time Venus will
appear to
cross the Sun from
Earth will be in 2012.
News:
Today is the 35th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing.
