This is pretty insane, International Space Station and Discovery before docking. Thierry Legault took video of the Space Shuttle as it approached the space station, FROM THE GROUND!
"Passage of the International Space Station and Discovery 30 minutes before docking, taken on February 26th 2011 at 18:40UT from the area of Weimar, Germany. It's sunset on the ISS at the end of the video sequence. The video is accelerated 2.5 times (acquisition at 10 fps, video at 25 fps). The altitude of the ISS is 360 km (200 miles), for a size of a hundred metres. The speed of ISS is 17,000 miles per hour and its angular speed at zenith is 1.2° per second."
I've mentioned him before.
