The Space Station Silhoutted Against the Sun
All humor aside, this is one of the most amazing photos I’ve ever seen. The photographer wrote,
“Actually, this was on Sunday afternoon. I finally got a chance to catch a couple of shots of the Space Shuttle and ISS docked together as they passed directly between my location and the Sun, also called a solar transit. The clouds had me worried most of Sunday morning, as they didn’t really break up until 30-45 minutes before the event was scheduled to occur, but luck was with me that day. The whole thing lasted about 1/2 second.”
Speaking of things only lasting about 1/2 a second: did you know I can have sex over 120 times a minute? Suck it, The Flash! *zip* *slurp* *zip* That. was. amazing.
