An amateur astronamer named Thierry Legault took this unbelievable photo of the Space Shuttle Atlantis silhouetted by our massive sun.
The shuttle (which is only 37m long and has a 24m wingspan) was traveling 17,500 mph at 350 miles above the Earth's surface -- and Lagault says he only had .8 seconds to get the shot. The sun looms in the background a mere 91 million miles away.
If you don't think ANYTHING is possible, you should just look at this stuff.
...and some more unlikely animal friends, because who doesn't love that shit.
