Just too cool: a photo of Space Shuttle Atlantis against the Sun. Remarkably, the shot was taken from the Earth!

Ever since Phil and MarkV set up their telescopes outside Pixar for a transit of Mercury I've been able to get excited about solar events: It's just cool to be able to do astronomy during the day. What's as impressive to an amateur like me is the timing necessary to get a shot like that.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
