Yep. Photoshop.

I reckon it's a grapefruit turned through 90 degrees to the right.

Surely that close to the sun, she'd burn up ?

She cannae take any more cap'n !

Hmmm....

If you look 12'o' clock from the shuttle, you will come across what appears to be a small structure on the surface of the sun.

Aliens ?

That's a nice shot, but take a look at this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/3532145692/

See that speck of dust/failed pixel on your screen? That's the ISS and the space shuttle. Click on the "all sizes" link and then look at it in 1800 x 1800 to get a clearer picture.
