      Explanation: On August 25 Sun and Moon could both be seen in planet   
      Earth's daytime skies. And so could the International Space Station.   
      The ISS crossed the disk of the waning crescent Moon as seen from   
      Shunyi district, Beijing, China at about 11:02 am local time. Some 40   
      kilometers to the southwest, in Fengtai district, the ISS was seen to   
      cross the Sun's disk too. The solar transit was observed only 29   
      seconds later. Both transits are compared in these panels, composed of   
      processed and stacked video frames from the two locations. The   
      coordinated captures were made with different equipment, but adjusted   
      to show the Sun and Moon at the same scale. The ISS was at a calculated   
      range of 435 kilometers for the lunar transit and 491 kilometers when   
      passing in front of the Sun.
