It should be real, my cousin works at NASA and emailed it too me. I just looked it up online to find a copy I could post here without uploading the image myself (from my email).

That is as real as Neil Armstrong stepping on the moon.
The object that is used to depict the sun looks like a nerf ball of some sort. and the image of the shuttle is applied via some high-tech 50 million dollar photoshop pro that Nasa has created. Mind you in the black portion of this photo there should be stars. I do not see any.

You need some kind of special lens to have the sun in the backdrop to minimize its intensity. My guess is that same lens cuts out the light from stars behind the sun.

In this tightly cropped image, the NASA space shuttle Atlantis is seen in silhouette during solar transit, Tuesday, May 12, 2009, from Florida. This image was made before Atlantis and the crew of STS-125 had grappled the Hubble Space Telescope.
The phtographer made this image using a solar-filtered Takahashi 5-inch refracting telescope and a Canon 5D Mark II digital camera.

Yep, I think there was definitely a filter involved.
PS I forwarded the email from my cousin to Snowreap (an independent 3rd party) so he can vouch that it was an email from NASA. Now there may be a conspiracy, but if you believe these NASA employees, this is indeed a real image (at least they seem to believe it's real).

is that why I got that email? an email with no SMTP headers, by the way, which makes its authenticity impossible to verify.
in any event, the biggest indicator of that picture's authenticity is that it is of a much higher quality than the alleged NASA photograph.
so I would have to say that, yes, the image is probably authentic. if somebody were trying to fake images to make NASA look good, they wouldn't do so by having private hobbyists publish images far superior to NASA's own images.
and nobody has to fake images to make NASA look bad, ergo...

Thanks, I think..
I just forwarded you the email, I didn't strip out headers from the NASA sources (see all those NASA emails). I did delete my aunts email address out of there (so you can't harass her email account like I know you do sometimes).

oh oh, well, I just forward it from gmail. Would that strip them?
PS what tool do you use? Something like Outlook spy? How do you know that the SMTP headers haven't simply been tampered with if it's not encypted or contains a verification key/certificate? I can use tools to edit anything I want in most of the SMTP (and MAPI) properties.

the SMTP headers can be tampered with, easily. but despite this they still can form a verification chain. in the example above, I know that KENMSG25 and kenmsgsmtp01 are trustworthy -- they're part of our company's Exchange infrastructure and I know that nobody in my company's Exchange team is going to fake recruiting emails.
further, I can see from the headers that our firewall (kenmsgip02) received the email from "m1.seng.bendtel.com". theoretically, I could verify that "bendbroadband.com" is associated with "bendtel", and that "Wirth and Associates" is a customer of "bend broadband".
but if, for example, I received an email purporting to be from Microsoft, recommending that I download and install a patch, but our firewall received the message from a cablevision IP address, then I could be fairly certain that any of the headers beyond that point are suspect -- there is no reason for Microsoft to route their emails through the cablevision network.

The photo struck me as the sizes were out of proportion to the actual distance the shuttle really would be from the Sun. Although, Diggles picture looks like something out of Superman Returns. Way to go Diggles always knew you were from Krypton or something
