AstrophotographerJamie Cooperhas traveled the world looking for exceptional views of the stars.
But he didn’t have to travel far to capture something rare.
Considering that the event lasted for less than a second, the image he produced is incredible.
In fact, it passes in front of the Sun 16 times during a 24-hour period.
Though it’s a frequent occurrence, actually seeing it is another matter.
To capture the event, Cooper used a high-speed camera that shoots at 80 frames per second.
He also used a special telescope with a filter that allowed him to photograph the event safely.
Weather is a critical factor in whether or not one can view this blink-and miss it event.
