An incredible photo which was taken in County Durham showing the International Space Station fly in front of the sun goes viral on Facebook.
Wil Cheung, who is the resident astronomer at The Twice Brewed Observatory near Bardon Mill on Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, took the amazing photo in Bowburn on Sunday at 12.36pm. The photographer had been trying to get the shot for more than a year and was close to giving up on ever capturing the special moment.
To be able to achieve the shot, Wil had to be at an exact spot at an exact time as the International Space Station flew in front of the sun - but this would only last 0.67 seconds. And while Wil had done everything in his power to be able to get the perfect shot he was reliant on the trusty British weather to stay clear.
