Left: One of the big ironies of the 2012
transit of Venus was that NASA’s greatest

Hubble’s instruments are so sensitive,
one look at the glaring Sun would have

managed to join the show.
Astrophotographer Theirry Legault
caught the observatory crossing in front
of the sun alongside Venus.
“I was in northeast Australia for the
full transit of Venus and a transit of
Hubble in the middle,” says Legault.
This is certainly an historic photo.
