ISS/Atlantis transit of the Sun

21 Sep 2006

Thierry Legault, a French photographer, captured a great image of the ISS and Atlantis in front of the Sun as seen from the ground. That was quite an acomplishment, considering that the transit lasted for less than a second.

By the way, I love the picture of his equipment (scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to see it).
