Sun, Moon, and ISS

Forming a troika to make Kubrik jealous, the sun, moon, and International Space Station gathered for this incredible photo. Pohotography credits go to French astrophotographer Thierry Legault who figured out the why (math), when (early this week), where (Oman!), and how (airplanes). Also check out his similar picture of the ISS (the H-shaped thing with solar panels sticking out of it) passing in front of the moon. Here's the article from Bad Astronomy (don't be fooled by the name - the astronomy is you'll find there is A-OK).
