Shuttle and Hubble Passing In Front of the Sun 161
GvG was one of several readers to point out this "incredible photo clearly showing the silhouette of Atlantis and the Hubble Space Telescope as they passed in front of the Sun was taken Wednesday, May 13, 2009, from west of Vero Beach, Florida. The two spaceships were at an altitude of 600 km and they zipped across the sun in only 0.8 seconds." The image is all over the Web now, for good reason.

I think you need to spend more time staring at the Sun. Big yellow orb? Check.

While I realize the difficulty of actually taking this picture, am I the only one who thinks this picture is actually really terrible quality? Or am I just used to much better quality from NASA photos?
They're up there to *fix* the hubble. They haven't actually fixed it yet...

That explains it. I wondered what that fleeting shadow was.

I think it is a housefly. You on an orange would not be a very pretty sight...

I could see more clearly what was going on if they just cleaned off those two little black specks in the picture.

Bear in mind that the photo is being taken...during the daytime...
Definitely should have taken the picture at night.
