The past few weeks have been particularly eclipse-y. Eclipse-ful? Ecliptic? And while I’m asking questions, how does Thierry Legault do it? He’s the KING of transit photos. (This photo of the January 4 partial solar eclipse, plus ISS transit, was featured on APOD yesterday. As it should be.)

Thierry Legault has done it again: a beautifully sharp solar transit image of the ISS with Atlantis attached (on the left side.) Above is a crop at full resolution; below is the full frame (with a sunspot for… scale?)
