Good spot! I was wondering if that was going to happen somewhere. An absolutely superb shot. I am surprised it never made it to the news/newspapers that I saw. Probably National Geographic will take it :)

Bloody spectacular! You can make out some detail in the "wings", even.

I showed it to my brother and he said "That's not the ISS, it's Darth Vader's TIE fighter!!!" :cool:

Awesome shot though, I only wish I could take something like that.

I wonder if they took any pictures from the station?

I saw this on TV somewhere...the "Stargazing Live" show I think. One in a million shot, and I wondered if the photographer knew it was going to happen, or was just lucky.

Yes, it says in the article he traveled to (insert obscure location here) to capture this.
