Kinda on topic. Anyone seen this madness:

What kind of mad telescopic lens do you need on your camera to take photos of the space station as it passes overhead! You need perfect timing too, it's only visible for around 30 seconds or so.
I saw the photographer on the TV not long ago (sky at night I think - I know I'm sad lol). Just an amateur thing done as a hobby, cool nevertheless.
If that wasn't cool enough, how about this:

Space shuttle has just left the ISS and you can see the space shuttle silhouette just to the left of the ISS. Click on the image to see the full sun. Very cool I think.
