This must be two separate passes in front of the sun, right? Because Hubble is only in one image.

Those first two shots are not even the same day even tho the properties say all the 5/15/09 date . The first two are on the opposite side of the Sun and they are closer up than the one with the hubble beside it . They were flying at the same speed almost with the image of them both together . This particular pict is posted at www.spaceweather.com and the info states they were taken the day before the Hubble came into the same pict .

They were on the 12th and 13th:
