- blackmath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Didnt you know what the Hollywood sign is for?
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Lack of gravity also results in a lack of 'upside down' or 'right side up'
It's just 'side up' - neave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Here's an animated sequence of the eclipse uploaded to Google Video:

Bloomin' stunning! - deweyhewson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Forgot to turn the flash on...
- Agraek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7It's not the same photo... This one actually looks better and is more in focus than the other.
- Cryobat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And here's another movie with another eclipse captured on tape from ISS found on YouTube http://youtube.com/watch?v=YFcpwZ6SBxs

- eggo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2anyone know what the grey thing in the upper left of the pic could be? something on the lens? some internal reflection? a giant space eel devouring the ISS?
I'm going with the latter - dallen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Maybe I should tune up my sarcasm generator
- victorycig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow, that's really something to make you stop during your daily routine and think a while.
Sort of looks like the start of third impact ;) - NYC10004, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wish they had pictures of this stuff when I was a kid in school. It has that 'shock and awe factor' that makes you pay attention. It also helps you to realize where we all fit in the scheme of things.
- iFindout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that picture is pretty cool. I wonder if the astronauts in the space station get internet access, so they can share their thoughts about the pic with us here on earth.
- fritts1227, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Videos much more impressive than the images. +digg
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2As much money as all this space lark costs.............it does make for some great photos.
- affinity, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4neat
- jguerry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0but it could also be side-down!
- gookie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2What if, instead of the moon...it were a humungous converging lens...hrm...
- Confuzed, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1No labels and its upside down or is that right side up...
- TreasureChest, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Wow that's stunning.
- dman95129, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3yeah, wasn't this posted about a week ago when it actually happened!
- tzmguitarist, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5as in... i'm looser than you? LOSER is how you spell it. you should know :)
- retral, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1This is kinda old, but still cool
- noahlh, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5Yes, this is a dupe with the following highly-dugg story:
http://digg.com/science/Eclipse:_Picture_of_Moon_s_Shadow_on_Earth_As_Seen_From_the_Space_Station - dallen, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3You can see the camera strap, looser!
But seriously, cool picture.
