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.

I actually got to see this one! Even had a few neighbor kids come over to see the telescope. Those kids are married now!
Pretty rare, who knows if we would live up to see the next transit
Three Days Grace have an album called Transit of Venus.
You can ignore me.
