On July 22, 2024, astronomy enthusiasts will have the unique opportunity to observe the solar transit of the International Space Station (ISS). This rare phenomenon occurs when the ISS passes directly in front of the Sun from Earth’s perspective, appearing as a small dot moving quickly across the solar disk. These transits are short-lived, generally lasting less than a second, due to the space station’s high orbital velocity. For observers on Earth, it is essential to use appropriate solar filters to protect their eyes from the intense sunlight while trying to capture this extraordinary event. Photographers and observers will use telescopes with solar filters and high-speed cameras to capture the event, adding spectacular images to the archives of rare astronomical phenomena.
