Hanya 20 menit sebelum kembali memasuki atmosfer bumi, ini gambar yang mengagumkan pesawat ulang-alik Atlantis saat melewati matahari.
Namun foto ini tidak diambil oleh NASA, atau oleh seorang astronom profesional dengan menggunakan peralatan berharga jutaan dolar. Sebaliknya, foto jelas yang menunjukkan siluet kecil dari pesawat di depan matahari, ditangkap oleh fotografer amatir di halaman belakang rumahnya sendiri.

Luar biasanya, Fotografer Perancis Thierry Legault hanya mempunyai waktu 0,9 detik untuk memotret, namun masih berhasil mengabadikan pesawat ruang angkasa yang melesat dengan kecepatan 7.8km per detik sebanyak empat kali.

Diketahui, Legault memasang kameranya ke teleskop matahari, dengan filter surya untuk membantu mencegah masuknya sinar yang kuat yang dapat menghancurkan peralatan, dan duduk dengan sabar menunggu lebih dari satu jam, menyiapkan dirinya untuk menangkap gambar tersebut di daerah Emden Jerman pada 21 Juli lalu.
