Transiting the Sun
Stolen shamelessly from NASA's picture of the day website.
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/iotd.html "Transiting the Sun In this tightly cropped image, the NASA space shuttle Atlantis is seen in silhouette during solar transit, Tuesday, May 12, 2009, from Florida. This image was made before Atlantis and the crew of STS-125 had grappled the Hubble Space Telescope. The photographer made this image using a solar-filtered Takahashi 5-inch refracting telescope and a Canon 5D Mark II digital camera. Image Credit: NASA/Thierry Legault" -- Cheers Dave Kearton |

I thought it might have been taken by Glen :-) OTOH, you can see the whole aircraft -- Mike Mackenzie (AVCOM Services) Brisbane, AUSTRALIA Remove "XYZ" from the "Reply to" address when responding by email. |

@news-server.bigpond.net.au: Nah. It's not a close-up. Omigawd! "It" can say something other than SPAM! Oh wait, I remember that he also spoke months earlier, bitching about J3's posting of shuttle pics. Irksome said shuttle shots (and "space" shots) were not welcome here... I guess it all depends on whom is posting, eh stupid?. And Irksome, don't try to defend yourself by giving some weak-balled excuse about being only against HOW they were posted. Irksome, you go ahead and try that **** with me. I can easily show you to be the liar you are (as done before). My news service can go back about a year now in this particular group, some groups as far back as 2005. Are you still harassing Gus Grissom's widow, Betty? |
