Paris-based amateur astro-photographer Thierry Legault captured a spectacular image of the Sun, the Moon and the ISS all in one view during yesterday’s partial solar eclipse. In the full version, you can clearly see the Sun (at 150mn km), the Moon (at 400 000km) and the ATV’s ultimate destination – the ISS! – at 500 km. Cool! Thanks Thierry — Daniel (Click on image to view full size over at Thierry’s website).
