A stunning composite image captures the International Space Station (ISS) silhouetted against the Sun. The ISS appears as a series of small, dark shapes transiting across the sun's surface, which is rich with solar activity including sunspots, prominences, and filaments. The image was taken from Beijing, China, and combines a series of short exposure shots to capture the ISS with a separate image highlighting the sun's texture and features.
