They say you should never look at the sun – unless you’re NASA of course.
The US space agency has released an epic photo of the International Space Station passing in front of the sun, and it’s the closest we’ll get to an eclipse for the rest of the year.
The ISS meets the Sun
The photo in question consists of seven frames showing the silhouette of the ISS as it crosses the fiery yellow sun.

Photographer Joel Kowsky captured the image on Friday, June 25 as the space station was moving at approximately 5 miles a second (or 8km/s).
