International Space Station passing by the sun.
Cropped and processed image #138

Note that to generate this image, I took the first image in this gallery, with all ISS positions blended into one, and then cloned out the additional ISS images except this one, which was the sharpest of them all. Atmospheric aberrations, due to the late afternoon view causing a low angle of the sun in the sky, negatively distorted many of the ISS images and may have positively distorted this one. The sun in the background from this blended image was nicer than the sun in the original solo shot. Here you can see detail on the surface of the sun.

The ISS looks lonely in the vastness of space.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Ken, one of the Astronauts on the ISS (Victor Glover) is a friend of mine and I've sent this photo to him. I know it took a lot of work to get this done but it's TERRIFIC ........ v
