Cool does not begin to describe that image. Was that a lucky shot or a planned one do you know?

I'm not sure.
I assume it was planned. The photographer is a french astronomer.
Aoart from that, I'm still picking myself up off the floor

Impressive detail, and talk about a huge scale.

Is it real? Photoshop?
The resolution is amazing, which is why I question the authenticity. Don't mean to be distrusting...its just such an amazing pic.

If it's today's APOD picture of the day, I highly doubt it.

Legault is one of the best astrophotographers in the world.
I have his site in my favourites for the last two years:
http://legault.club.fr/index.html
Here are more details about the image:
http://legault.club.fr/iss_atlantis_transit.html
I am sure that Thierry must have travelled some distance to capture this.
And of course everything was very carefully planned!

Thanks for posting.
I was looking for this image on the net the other day after seeing it on the Today Show ( or my local news during the today show).
The image was definitely planned. This image was only visible to imagers located on a 6mile wide part of the earth, and the view only lasted a fraction of a second.
To be able to get this capture would require alot of planning, IMO.
Thanks again for posting.
