Double Eclipse of the Sun


An amazing and beautiful photo that took lots of preparation and split second timing to create.

From NPR...
French photographer Thierry Legault knew he had .86 seconds to get the shot. He'd flown to the Sultanate of Oman for the perfect vantage point.

January 4th that part of the world saw a partial solar eclipse, but Legault, who's a veteran astrophotographer, didn't want just a spectacular shot of the moon crossing in front of the sun. No, he wanted to capture that millisecond moment when the moon
and the International Space Station eclipsed the sun at the same time.
