Double Eclipse Photographed, Sun, Moon, and ISS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-isn't-that-pretty dept.

The Bad Astronomer writes "The exceptionally talented astrophotographer Thierry Legault captured a picture extraordinary even for him: the space station passing in front of the Sun while the Sun was being partially eclipsed by the Moon! He traveled all the way from France to the Sultanate of Oman to take this amazing shot. I have more information about the picture itself on the Bad Astronomy blog, but you should go to Thierry's website to see more amazing pictures he's taken over the years. They're simply jaw-dropping."

    Yes, Nice work indeed. Copyright sucks, and I have no respect for that law whatsoever. If laws are unethical, it's our duty to break them.
