WOW!!! Coolest Photo Taken in the History of EVER
Posted May 15th 2009 1:01PM by TMZ Staff An amateur astronomer named Thierry Legault took this unbelievable photo of the Space Shuttle Atlantis silhouetted by our massive sun -- and you won't believe what it took to get the shot. The shuttle (which is only 37m long and has a 24m wingspan) was traveling 17,500 mph at 350 miles above the Earth's surface -- and Lagault says he only had .8 seconds to get the shot. The sun looms in the background a mere 91 million miles away. We're not going to get into what kind of equipment, settings and preparation it took -- because we're too busy staring at the pic to get into it. But you can check out another amazing shot on the dude's website. 
That's amazing!

Thanks for the website and pictures. Looking at these pictures make me realize how ridiculous space is. There are areas we will never physically visit in our lifetime unless we invent some new form of space transportation. Just beautiful pictures:

Agreed Shawn. It's just mind boggling how much is out there beyond what we can see. | |

hokie said:  If that's really the sun, that guy was using one heck of a filter! He got a completely clean silhouette of the shuttle right in front of the brightest object in our solar system -- absolutely no glow or flaring or even a corona around the edges! It looks almost like a big lemon!  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
