It might be better to use the permalink to the particular APOD entry in question: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150322.html


The ISS looks like a wing of TIE fighters...


Url changed to that from http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html.


Thanks.


Do yourself a favor and take a look at the photographer website - http://www.astrophoto.fr

The pictures of the Shuttle docking with the ISS are just amazing.


Whoa. And a picture of an astronaut on a space walk, taken from the ground.


Do take a look at the stereo pairs of the ISS too: http://www.astrophoto.fr/ISS_ATV5.html


Capture setup looks similar to this (from photographer's website): capture setup: http://www.astrophoto.fr/ISS_ATV5_passage_telescope.jpg


I made a script to set the wallpaper on Windows to the image on the webpage. github : https://github.com/siddhartpai/astroPicWindowsWallpaper

Cheers


Are those tie fighters?


"These aren't the tie fighters you're looking for."


Wow, thats a beautiful picture! I really appreciate the work of these people, who are going the extra mile to get these pictures.


Whoa, amazing
