The ISS crossing the sun

With the sun without solar points, like ours, the astronomers have a clearer visual field to explore the sun thoroughly and to be witnesses of what happens in him. The privilege is not exclusive of professional astronomers, and the photographers amateur also they can be a pleasure of extracting profit of it.

Leonardo Julio, photographer of Buenos Aires one was a pleasure of taking an exceptional picture of the sun that is published in Space Weather, which we can appreciate above (click to enlarge), and that shows to the International Space station (ISS) in his transit along the solar disc.

In July he reports that the ISS crossed the sun in only 0.5 seconds, and that it captured the image in a moment with his solar filter and his Canon EOS 40D. The product of the technology and the precision is this wonderful photo that costs as post of Sunday.
