So what is that exactly? It's the ISS with the space shuttle on a backdrop of the sun. Cool, no? Stuff like this always impresses me. I really am all singing all dancing crap of the world.
Check out the full version here, it's mega impressive (and huge, like 15megs huge).

That honestly was probably the only way to get such a sharp pic of those two....the short exposure time prevented the blurring that would normally happen.
Nothing cooler than watching the shuttle and ISS fly over my house every now and then.

That is really cool. I saw this post earlier today and spent the entire afternoon staring into the sun hoping to catch a glimpse of the shuttle. Not only did I not see the shuttle, but now I'm having a hard time seeing anything.
