In an EPIC PHOTOBOMB, International Space Station passes by total solar eclipse

While the people of the United States were busy observing the first Total Solar Eclipse in 99 years yesterday (August 21), NASA photographer Joel Kowsky, while looking up from Banner (Wyoming), observed something else.

He soon managed to capture a silhouette of the ISS passing in front of the sun at the time of the eclipse.

With six crew members on board, the ISS transits the sun at roughly five miles a second during the eclipse. NASA also cleared doubts of people asking whether the visual was of a Sunspot instead, and posted a seven frame composition of the station showing its movement.

NASA then tweeted out a composite picture of the photobombing and also uploaded a video of the same on its website.
