Default ISS and shuttle against sun (not mine)

It looks like a speck of dust on the surface of the sun. But this spectacular picture shows the space shuttle Atlantis alongside the International Space Station (ISS) silhouetted as they orbit the earth. The image was taken in Normandy by French astrophotographer Thierry Legault. He used a digital camera attached to a £5,000 specially kitted-out telescope.

This sort of photo must be publish in the newspaper so that the common reader of the newspaper will get an information that how the photographer is intelligent in taking images and keeping his presence of artistic mind by taking images, because for taking such images the patience is quite needed, very nice image, I like this concept of taking image at a very long distance object. and also shown a nice comparison with sun.
