I think if it was to the scale of the first pic, the ship and scaffold would be WAY bigger
>> Anonymous

Yeah, the original Mothership was somewhere around 11 km tall, with the scaffolding being roughly 15km. That's huge compared to the ISS, which is several hundred meters at best?

Still, awesome image *saves*.

Scrap that, I fail. The ISS isn't even 100 meters in width.

Here's a false color x-ray to ease your confusion.

With the ISS and Shuttle added to the same scale. It's slightly more terrifying

Why, 4chan of course. I'm sure it's probably originally from the NASA website. God bless NASA and their willingness to share the wonders of the universe.

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
