Holy Moly Just Incredible ISS, Shuttle transit the Sun! | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine

Holy.

Hale.

Akala.

The big yellow thing is the Sun. But look at the upper right section. See those two dark blips? The one on the left is the Shuttle Orbiter Atlantis and on the right is the International Space Station! Incredibly, Thierry caught them as they passed directly in front of the Sun! To give you an idea of how talented Thierry is, the entire transit lasted just over half a second.
