Jamie Cooper, 52, took a photo of the International Space Station from his home in Whilton, near Daventry, Northamptonshire, on June 17.
The British photographer took a photo of the "entire movement" of the ISS station across the Sun in less than 1 second at 10:222, British prime time. Jamie Cooper took photos with a telecommunications lens and a high-speed video camera. This is an opportunity not to be missed, he said.
Cooper is a professional photographer and amateur photographer. Cooper said he was in the right place at the right time.
There is a very narrow strip where you, the space station and the Sun are on a straight line and it is about 4.8km wide, he said.
The British photographer said he checked the data for 3 days and 1 day before the space station passed above his house and was lucky enough to capture that moment.
The International Space Station is about 400km from Earth when it was above Cooper's home and moved at a speed of about 27,300 km/h.
According to the British photographer, his very high-speed video camera shoots at 80 frames per second while the normal camera speed is 25 frames.
"The important thing is that I use specialized, filtered European launched lenses because I can't look at the sun without a filter because looking directly can lead to the risk of permanent blindness," he said.
