Moon eclipses sun, from a point in space, that is.

Wow. Click the ‘clearly be seen in silhouette’ link. It’s just breathtaking.

the Bad Astronomy site had a very short video of this yesterday or the day before. pretty cool picture.
Pretty cool picture indeed. Space probe photographs have come a long way (no pun intended) since the early days, haven’t they?
Woah! That is indeed breathtaking.
Nice find.
Wow… makes me want to take the day off and play EVE :LOL:
Man, I could get lost in a job at JPL or the like… imagine being the first person to see this stuff on a daily basis.

Absolutely agreed. Honestly, though, since I want to go into the design end, I think I could have just as much fun working with the satellites with telescopes that point the other way.
I didn’t want to start a new thread just for this, so since we’re already talking about astrophotography of a sort, check out the APOD for 9/29 if you haven’t already: An Airplane in Front of the Moon. What a lucky (or well-timed and planned) shot.
Holy shit. Great, something else for me to burn time with.

Hahahah… I’ve got my camping spot picked out at the end of the flightline already….
When the moon rises as far north of me as it can, I need to try and remember to get the camera out and get a plane crossing the moon’s face. I’ve thought about this a few times (happens that today would be the day, so I’ll remember tonight.) Technically, with as often as planes land at Sky Harbor, one of them should cross the face eventually. Their flight path in when the wind is from the west should make this doable.
