Two amazing photos for you.
Thierry Legault took this photo of Atlantis transiting the sun on May 12th.
A day later, he took this one, with both Hubble and Atlantis in frame.
Original story available at Spaceweather.com.
Unfortunately, it appears that Thierry's site has been overloaded with traffic since the article was posted earlier today.

What, you mean the sun isn't a giant tennis ball?
This is what he used:
Quote:
Takahashi TOA-130 refractor (diameter 130mm, final focal 2200mm), Baader solar prism and Canon 5D mark II. Exposure of 1/8000s at 100 ISO, extracted from a series of 16 images (4 images/s) started 2s before the predicted time.

Opinion = fact. Anecdote = proof. Political label more important than either of those.
