Good Monday morning Maj William W. 'Bill' Price!!! What an awesome photo of our ISS transiting Our Sun!!! During a short research, I found one short cip, which I am sharing in my response... Your APOD image though is the best one I have seen to date... I will be sharing a longer Video clip on the ISS, from both you and I as have been done in the past... I believe you and your followers will enjoy it!
Have a great day, Bill!

Good evening, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price I had responded this morning but my system crashed before it posted :(
Thank you for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Monday, October 28, 2019 entitled "The Space Station Crosses a Spotless Sun."
Image: The Space Station Crosses a Spotless Sun - Image Credit & Copyright - Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau.
"Explanation: Typically, the International Space Station is visible only at night. Slowly drifting across the night sky as it orbits the Earth, the International Space Station (ISS) can be seen as a bright spot about once a month from many locations. The ISS is then visible only just after sunset or just before sunrise because it shines by reflected sunlight -- once the ISS enters the Earth's shadow, it will drop out of sight. The only occasion when the ISS is visible during the day is when it passes right in front of the Sun. Then, it passes so quickly that only cameras taking short exposures can visually freeze the ISS's silhouette onto the background Sun. The featured picture did exactly that -- it is actually a series of images taken a month ago from Santa Fe, Argentina with perfect timing. This image series was later combined with a separate image highlighting the texture of the spotless Sun, and an image bringing up the Sun's prominences around the edge. At an unusually low Solar Minimum, the Sun has gone without sunspots now for most of 2019."
Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) and Maj Marty Hogan for mentioning me.'

The Grateful Dead produced an album named Anthem of the Sun. Here is a named:
