It's like in those romantic movies where the Moon looks massive over the sea.
Some people must have been having a smooch on the shuttle when the photo was taken.

Even more wowz.

Ghostbusters in space?
Quote: Nil Putters @ May 15 2009, 9:16 PM BSTHmmm.
There's a girl up there, too. She controlled the robotic arm they used to catch Hubble. I saw it live...

Oooh get you. 
Where were you when we needed science explaining!? *wags finger* *but only a little bit*

Running after the sun. She's gone now. 
(Oooo. BTW. Sun: Male or female? The French say male, in German it's female.)

But we don't know where he's wagging it.

Hmmm, I'd say female personally, although I'm not sure why.
I'm lost.

Stuck in the cupboard again?
The sun is male.
As evidenced in the infamous song: The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray, the sun has got his hat on and he's coming out to play.
And so on.

Well, the sun is hot, radiant, powerful and the center of our planetary system. Whereas the moon looks a bit like an arse and is still orbiting his mom.
Wise choice, young Nil.

Insightful.
I was just thinking it gave life and if you tried to touch the hot bits you'd end up getting burnt.

Yay!
