This may be the coolest picture ever. During the 0.8 seconds that the shuttle and the Hubble passed by the sun, a guy managed to take this photo

That is awesome! Especially since, “[t]he spacecraft were zooming around Earth at 17,500 mph.”
I also didn't notice this since I was thinking of the sheer technical brilliance necessary, but once I read the linked article this is even more amazing since the sun is at a low in it's sunspot cycle…. so there are no sunspots to “hide” or “mask” either the Hubble or shuttle.
Thanks, Patrick!
