      Transit of Venus seen with a solar panel and earth horizon from ISS.  This two-exposure composite has one optimized for the solar panel-earth and the second for the solar disk requiring a solar neutral density filter. Unlike from earth, the solar disk from space looks white. Taken on June 6, 2012, Nikon D3s, 85mm lens.
