Wow, nice image. We don't get many opportunities to get a good view of the ISS from Florida, but I keep meaning to take out the 8" Dobsonian to give it a shot.
There are some other cool astronomical photographs on that site as well.

Since the sun is the background, it's actually the hottest thing we'll see all day.

Reminds me of that Ray Bradbury short story about rockets that can fly in to the sun, b/c the interiors are frozen to -5,000 degrees fahrenheit.

I'm gettin' a DNS failure when I try to check it out. Anybody know of a mirror?

That kicks ass. I don't care if it does waste billions and the ships blow up half the time, I still love the space program.

What's not so cool is the "cybermonitor" cookie that that site installs on your computer.

Ah, yes, first there was tang and freeze-dried ice cream. Now this. Not a bad deal...billions and billions of tax dollars, in exchange for those three things. Sweet.

Now, if I may be so bold as to reference another recent Hit & Run post, has anyone read Oriana Fallaci's book If the Sun Dies?
