On Tuesday, Europe, Asia, and Africa got to see a nice partial solar eclipse as the Moon passed in front of the Sun, blocking as much as 85% of the solar surface. The extraordinarily talented astrophotographer Thierry Legault travelled from his native France to the Sultanate of Oman to take pictures of the eclipse.

But what’s that silhouette in the top left quadrant?

It’s only a frickin’ TIE fighter is all, claimed StarWarsBlog.

No, sighed DiscoverMagazine, it’s the International Space Station.

Epic astrophotography win, either way.

It’s Una Mullally. From the interweb! She still rawks. And it’s an ironic horn sign not meant literally.

But try telling that to Indie funsters Shane Kinsella and Mark Austin from The Minutes. Too hipstery for the horn? They’ll learn

Una was marking the return of her alternative music show on TG4 called Ceol Ar An Imeall (Wednesday, January 12 @ 11.15pm – repeated Fridays at 6.25pm).

Ceol Ar An Immeal means music from the edge. So expect a man in a hat making his  guitar sound like a helicopter.
