The Sun being eclipsed by the Moon and the ISS

Nice picture.

Looks like the sun is beginning to wake up a bit. It's only two years to go before the next predicted Solar Maximum and the sun has been awfully slow in winding itself up.

It is nice, isn't it. Nice to see some sunspots appearing too; over Christmas the sun had nothing on it!

Anyway, I forgot to add where the pic came from. It was from this website (accessed via SpaceWeather.com):

Seen the ISS in front of the sun before, but to get it along with the eclipse is amazing. Superb pic.

Edit - also a good "this is small, that is faaaaaaar away moment"

Has anyone else got a bad feeling about this?

That's just become my new desktop image. Great work by the photographer.
