If you look closely at this photo and video of the solar eclipse, you will see a tiny speck crossing the sun. That speck is actually the International Space Station with a crew of six astronauts onboard. <\/p>\n

NASA shared the video on Monday, Aug. 21 as a total solar eclipse swept across a portion of the United States. It was shot from a camera in Banner, Wyoming and was sped-up to 1,500 frames per second. The station moves at five miles per second. <\/p>\n
Millions around the country watched the total solar eclipse, or when the moon completely obscures the sun, on Monday. It started along Oregon's west coast shortly after 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT). The sky turned dark for a few minutes in the middle of the sunny day. It will end along coastal South Carolina before 3 p.m. ET. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
