Picture of the Day: The ISS Photobombs the Great American Eclipse...

Earlier today, NASA released this amazing composite image showing the International Space Station (ISS) crossing the Sun's disk during this morning's solar eclipse. It is absolutely amazing that photographers are able to take a picture of an artificial satellite passing in front of our parent star and Earth's natural satellite (the Moon) in such precise fashion. This is especially stunning considering the fact that the ISS is traveling at 17,500 mph above the Earth at all times...making it such a great challenge for any person on the ground who wants to take a snapshot of the station!

For photos that I myself took during today's highly-anticipated eclipse, visit my main Blog.
