Space station transit across sun captured by Daventry photographer

The moment the International Space Station crossed between the Earth and the Sun has been captured on video.

Photographer Jamie Cooper, 52, used a specialist telescope and filmed the moving silhouette above his home in Whilton, near Daventry, Northamptonshire, on 17 June.

The "entire transit" across the Sun at 10:22 BST actually lasted less than a second.

"This was an opportunity not to be missed," he said.
