Here you guys, have some of this:
www.spaceweather.com
Everything you ever wanted to know about what the sun is doing. And for the record, the picture is real, its not hard to see the space station and space shuttle, people do it all the time with their telescopes. You just have to put yourself in the right place at the right time. Doing that is easy too, thanks to
www.heavens-above.com
It requires registration (free) but will give you the coords of the ISS, space shuttle, and any registered satellite you want. For an amateur astronomer, both sites are pretty nifty tools.
Picture is stolen from front page of spaceweather, showing a green flash (refracting of suns rays as it approaches planetary limb) during a sunset. Nothing special required to see these, next time you're at the beach or another place with a clear horizon shot, have a look! Sometimes you can spot it. Just in case: colors are real :P
