The ISS transiting the sun can take only a few seconds, which makes this image all the more impressive!
Portuguese astrophotographer Miguel Claro has once again captured the public’s imagination with his magical imagery. This time, he took a detailed image of the International Space Station (ISS) as it transited the Sun. Traveling at an average speed of 17,500 miles per hour, the space station only takes a few seconds to move across the Sun. This makes the clarity of Claro’s image all the more impressive.
“The fact that I could achieve this level of detail without stacking images, which is the typical technique used for solar imaging, but for the ISS, it is not possible to stack, so I developed a different processing method which worked pretty well, and I was surprised and very happy with the results,” Claro tells My Modern Met of his favorite part of this image.
Claro’s work in solar photography often involves creating time lapses to show our star’s motion. So, it is a special achievement for him to be able to create a single frame that captures this sense of motion. Many factors need to come together in order to have a clear shot of the Sun, from clear weather to a stable atmosphere, but with everything lined up and the right equipment in hand, Claro executed his vision.
“I hope that this image can give emotions that can transmit the beauty of the universe, and in this case, how spectacular the Sun is,” shares Claro. “But also our capacity to make huge achievements as humanity: work in teams, put politics aside, and build the largest manmade structure in space, the International Space Station, capable of carrying on board astronauts permanently, an incredible artificial satellite orbiting our planet.” […]

Alex Chinneck has the world tied in knots as he distorts everyday tools and infrastructure. Twisting and twining telephone booths, hammers, and lamp posts, the British artist (previously) warps common objects to exaggerated proportions, rendering each almost entirely unusable. Mop handles form perfect bows, a brush constricts so tightly around a canister that blue paint spills out, and a bright red fire extinguisher appears choked for air. Chinneck’s interventions are boldly bizarre and speak to the extraordinary potential of humble objects.
This summer, the artist will install the knotted lamp posts below as part of a permanent work in Bristol, along with a spectacular boat undertaking a gravity-defying loop-the-loop for the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal. […]
