    When ISS transit BEFORE the sun, the side of ISS we are viewing is in shadow
    !!
    So it is impossible to see a sunlit ISS BEFORE the sun.

    Don't know if it is possible to see ISS transiting the sun, but I think
    the chances are far better than 
    for a sunlit ISS transiting a sunlit moon because ISS should be a dark
    object in front of the sun.
