Just a cool picture I saw recently

Picture of ISS and Atlantis crossing in front of the Sun.

Image of the solar transit of the International Space Station (ISS) and Space Shuttle Atlantis (50 minutes after undocking from the ISS, before return to Earth), taken from the area of Mamers (Normandie, France) on september 17th 2006 at 13h 38min 50s UT.

This kind of thing REALLY gives insight into just how tiny our parts in the "big picture" are... makes all life's B.S. even more pathetic. Awesome picture though. Thank you for sharing it!
