Half-size image . Half the megatonage, full 2,850 pixel dimensions.

It's the eighth entry down on that page.

Hi Peter,

Thierry has the info up on his web site (the pic featured on www.spaceweather.com a couple of days ago ... amazing shot). The page with the technical info is www.astrosurf.com/legault/iss_atlantis_transit.html

Have a look too at this image taken on June 8th, 2004 which catches the transit of Venus AND the ISS complex across the Sun that day. It was an incredibly rare shot as there was something less than a half-kilometre wide path where you had to position yourself to get the picture.

atb,

John

Had there been a tethered spacewalking astronaut in this week's image he/she might have been a speck on the margins of visibility.

Certainly, it is now only a matter of time before the first spacewalking astronaut is imaged from the Earth.

Whoever takes that picture will go into the history books.

Who is going to take the prize for THAT historical image, I wonder ?

Peter.
