The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest human-made body currently in orbit around Earth. Launched in 1998, it orbits the Earth at ~ 400km above the surface which means that one full orbit takes only ~ 92 minutes! Today it has the capacity for 6 astronauts in total.
These pictures show an almost perfect ISS transit over a spotless Sun. This event is rare because the Sun only takes up about half a degree of our sky. This transit only lasted for 1.42 seconds.
