Astrophotographer Miguel Claro captured stunning images of the International Space Station (ISS) transiting the Sun’s chromosphere from Figueira da Foz on the northern coast of Portugal using a high-speed camera capable of shooting 109 images per second.
He managed to capture multiple images of the ISS as it hurtled through space at 4.5 miles per second at a distance of around 274 miles from Earth. If you’re wondering why the ISS appears white, it’s because Claro employed an inversion technique to process the Sun’s chromosphere to avoid darkening at the edges.
