1 views

  • A rare photograph has captured a triple alignment of an airplane, the International Space Station (ISS), and the Sun.
  • Location: Prasek, Czech Republic.
  • Photographer: Petr Horalek.

Key Details

  • The Sun's disk displays expected dark sunspots caused by magnetic fields.
  • The ISS is visible as a small dark structure on the mid-left, captured through precisely timed, sub-second photography.
  • The airplane appeared unexpectedly during the exposure, creating a miniature partial eclipse effect across the solar surface.

Statistical Rarity

  • The photographer estimates the statistical probability of capturing both the ISS and a plane in a single random solar photograph at that location to be approximately 30 million to one.
