SPACE STATION TRANSIT: Astronomers like to point out that no one alive today has seen Venus transit the Sun. It's a rare event. True. But something rarer still is about to happen. On June 8th, Venus and a spaceship will cross the Sun at the same time. No one has ever seen that!

Observers located along the thin black line can see the ISS and Venus cross the Sun at the same time on June 8th.

The International Space Station (ISS) will cross the Sun four times during the 6+ hour transit of Venus. Traveling 17,000 mph, the ISS races across the solar disk in a split second, and it can only be seen from inside a narrow corridor only about one mile wide. Four of these corridors will criss-cross Europe, Africa and Asia on June 8th.
