According to Daily Mail, these impressive photos were taken with a special camera equipped with a hydro-alpha solar filter on June 6 at Dark Sky Alqueva conservation area in Redondo, Portugal.
Hydropower filters can create color deviations, which is why the ISS displays them as yellow-colored whites, not black. The image also shows fine particles in the photosphere - one of the outer layers of the Sun.
NASA says that sometimes anyone can see the special solar panels of the ISS if they look up to the sky at dawn or sunset, even if they are living in a big city. The US space agency also has a list of online locations where people can watch the ISS pass through.
