The space station. The shuttle. And the sun.

wanted to make sure you saw the following remarkable photos of the International Space Station, with space shuttle Atlantis attached, transiting the sun on May 22.

They were taken by Thierry Legault (see his Web site for larger versions) using a Takahashi TOA-150 refractor telescope. The complex transited the sun in 0.49 seconds.
