i've seen quite a few shops in my day and this is definitely shopped. I can tell from the pixels and the obvious discoloration.

My first question would be, how was this picture taken? From where and when? Second, how can the shuttle and ISS be seen against the glare of the sun?

To finish, "I don't think so, Tim."

On the contrary James, it is very real. Here is the website of the photographer who took the picture: http://www.astrosurf.com/legault/

Bunch of morons. If this were my site, I'd delete all those stupid posts then turn off the anonymous thing.

I would be willing to be it only looks shopped because the sun is so bright. It's bound to cause some level of glare distortion on the margins of the silhouette. I'm sure the picture itself is real, but it is very likely it had to be processed to make the station properly visible ... just contrast enhancements, not major edits.

@16 so what you're saying but not saying is "SHOPPED" right?
