Photo: Space Shuttle Crossing the Sun
Filed under General
Interesting photo here, from last year, courtesy of Wired.
In the 0.8 seconds the Space Shuttle Atlantis took to cross the sun, French astrophotographer Thierry Legault snapped this picture with a five-inch telescope and a digital camera. The photo was taken on May 12 2009, the day before the Shuttle grappled the Hubble Space Telescope.
The next day Legault got a stunning shot of the two spacecraft together, right before Atlantis reached out to grab Hubble.
