Anyway, today the shuttle passed between the earth and the Sun at about 9:17am our time. Below is a photo of this happening. You can see the shuttle and the telescope is just below it.
The shuttle was at an altitude of about 600km (375ml) and it was only in front of the Sun for 0.8 of a second!!!
Job well done to the photographer, who was in Florida and used a special telescope with a sun filter on it to get the photo.
