Re: APOD: A Fleeting Double Eclipse of the Sun (2017 Aug 28)
I'm obviously confused. If the ISS transited the sun (angular diameter of one half degree) in one second, wouldn't it cover 360 degrees in 720 seconds, and orbit the earth in 12 minutes, rather than 90? I'm willing to be proved stupid to increase my understanding.
