In the past we have shown you images of the International Space Station crossing the moon, and the sun. We have even shown you the shuttle and the International Space Station crossing the sun together. Photographer Thierry Legault has captured something truly amazing. He has managed to capture an image of a partial eclipse of the sun by the moon, while the International Space Station is also transiting (or eclipsing) the sun. You will have to click on the image to see a larger version, but in the bottom left corner is the partial eclipse of the sun by the moon. Towards the upper left is the International Space Station is also transiting the sun. Towards the center and the bottom right are sunspots. Just remember one thing when looking at this image. The International Space Station crosses the sun in under a second. This was truly a split-second shot.
