Het jy hierdie sonsverduistering-“photo bomb” gesien?

In die onderstaande video, wat met ‘n hoëspoedkamera geneem is, kan jy die International Space Station (@ISS), met ‘n span van ses mense aanboord, as ‘n silhoeët sien wat ongeveer vyf myl per sekonde voor die son inskuif tydens ‘n gedeeltelike sonsverduistering, Maandag 21 Augustus 2017 naby Banner, Wyoming.

Aan boord as deel van die bemanning is: NASA-ruimtevaarders, Peggy Whitson, Jack Fischer (@Astro2Fish) en Randy Bresnik (@AstroKomrade); Russiese ruimtevaarders, Fyodor Yurchikhin en Sergey Ryazanskiy (@SergeyISS); en ESA (@EuropeanSpaceAgency) ruimtevaarder, Paolo Nespoli (@Astro_Paolo).

Daar was ‘n volle sonverduistering oor ‘n nou gedeelte van die aangrensende Verenigde State van Lincoln Beach, Oregon na Charleston en Suid-Carolina. ‘n Gedeeltelike sonsverduistering was sigbaar oor die hele Noord-Amerikaanse vasteland, sowel as dele van Suid-Amerika, Afrika en Europa.

In this video captured at 1,500 frames per second with a high-speed camera, the International Space Station (@ISS), with a crew of six onboard, is seen in silhouette as it transits the sun at roughly five miles per second during a partial solar eclipse, Monday, Aug. 21, 2017 near Banner, Wyoming. Onboard as part of the crew are: NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson, Jack Fischer (@Astro2Fish), and Randy Bresnik (@AstroKomrade); Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazanskiy (@SergeyISS); and ESA (@EuropeanSpaceAgency) astronaut Paolo Nespoli (@Astro_Paolo). A total solar eclipse swept across a narrow portion of the contiguous United States from Lincoln Beach, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. A partial solar eclipse was visible across the entire North American continent along with parts of South America, Africa, and Europe.

Today, the Sun disappeared, seemingly swallowed by our Moon–at least for a while. The August 21 solar eclipse cut through a swath of North America from coast to coast and those along the path of totality, that is where the Moon completely covered the Sun, were faced with a sight unseen in the U.S. in 99 years. Elsewhere across the country, many were able to view at least a partial eclipse. This series of images shows the progression of a partial solar eclipse near Banner, Wyoming.

Is dit nie ongelooflik nie?

As the sun rose over Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, thousands of people and their vehicles were jockeying for prime eclipse viewing positions. Hours later they were rewarded with a total eclipse of the sun. This image is a composite of two frames, the morning sunrise of the Tetons and a timed multiple exposure of today’s eclipse.
