The picture "Eclipsing the Sun", shown above, is a fascinating photo capturing many interesting objects all in one frame. First off is the lunar eclipse occurring, in which the shadow of the massive dark moon is slowly encroaching on the sun. Then, just above the moon fly's by the International Space Station, which stayed in front of the sun for only a second. The picture had to be lined up and shot within that one second time frame, and the photographer managed to snap it perfectly as the ISS was centered. In addition to these fascinating celestial objects lining up are the presence of massive sunspots, which can be seen clearly in the photo.
