All 16 seconds of it!

The ISS appears around the 3 o'clock position moving NE to SW; it's easier to see on the youtube page.

Published on Aug 21, 2017

In this video captured at 1,500 frames per second with a high-speed camera, the International Space Station, with a crew of six onboard, is seen in silhouette as it transits the sun at roughly five miles per second during a partial solar eclipse, Monday, Aug. 21, 2017 near Banner, Wyoming.

Just for reference, the drumpf family and their repuglican enablers don't believe a minute of this hoax.
