Man-made sunspot
These photographs of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, silhouetted against the Sun moments before it latched onto the Hubble Space Telescope for repairs, were taken by engineer and amateur astro-photographer, Thierry Legault, best known for the photos taken from the yard of his Paris home.
These photos were taken on a beach in Florida, with Legault operating out of the back of a rental car.
Check out this shot of the International Space Station and the Shuttle passing in front of the Sun, and then head over to his homepage, featuring a stunning variety of his best work.
