The International Space Station (ISS) was in position to view the umbral (ground) shadow cast by the Moon as it moved between the Sun and the Earth during the solar eclipse on March 29, 2006. This astronaut image captures the umbral shadow across southern Turkey, northern Cyprus, and the Mediterranean Sea. People living in these regions observed a total solar eclipse, in which the Moon completely covers the Sun's disk. The astronaut photograph was taken at approximately 2:00 p.m. local time. The terminator of the eclipse—the line between the light and dark parts of the Sun's disk— is visible as it passes across central Turkey. This total solar eclipse is the fourth to have occurred since 1999. The portion of the ISS visible at image top is the Space Station Remote Manipulator System[/font][font color="#ffffff" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"]

I believe that's just an out-of-focus cable assembly or tether.
I hope thats what it is or else.....
When you look at that simple shadow, and think about the immense mystical significance given to it for centuries by our ancestors who could never hope to see what it really was, it makes you question almost every single document of spiritual history.
