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.
