The International Space Station (ISS) is seen transiting the Sun in these fascinating images.

Jamie Cooper captured the spectacle in just ONE second from his home in Whilton, Northamptonshire.

He explains: “On the late morning of 17th June 2022, a pass of the International Space Station in front of the Sun was predicted to be visible from my own home. This was an opportunity not to be missed.

“I shot the entire transit event, that lasted less than one second, using a high speed ZWO ASI290MM video camera, capturing frames of one millisecond exposure at 80 frames per second.”
