APOD 2.6


Double Eclipse

January 4th was the first eclipse of the year; even if it was just a partial one. But this eclipse was very special because it was a double eclipse featuring the International Space Station and the Moon. This picture was taken within the one second interval that both of these objects would be visible against the Sun.

In addition, in the lower left portion of the Sun there is a sunspot visible.
