Cool Space Station Pic

While perusing the spaceweather.com site a couple of days ago, I ran across a pretty cool picture.  This was taken in Normandy, France on September 17th.  Amateur astronomer Thierry Legault caught the shuttle and space station eclipsing the Sun. 

A blown up section of the photo:

"I took this picture from Normandy, France, at 1340 UT on Sept. 17th while the shuttle was performing a 360°  inspection of the ISS," says Legault.

You can see the complete photo here at astrosurf.com.
