Thanks!
I would like to be able to take a picture of a space vehicle as it made a transits across the face of the sun. These pictures really give you that sense of how massive the sun really is. I don't think anyone can really grasp just how massive it is.
As you can tell from my avatar, one of my main interests is astronomy, so when I first saw the thumbnail on this one, I thought it was one of your rare photos, Vlad, it's that realistic. Enlarging it showed me the sharp edges of the spacecraft and I realized it was one of your excellent illustrations. The sun looks exactly as it appears in my telescope through my solar filter. It's going right into my favs and onto my desktop. Thanks for sharing it with us.
