Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 9:53 amthat has been my desktop for a couple of months... those NASA photo archives have some simply stunning shots!
Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 2:06 pmThat one was part of a series that I hadn't seen before, from the Endeavour mission in August.
See more here, the high-res ones are spectacular
They are very crisp pictures, maybe NASA's new budget allows a decent camera in the shuttle at last.
And this one makes earth orbit suddenly look like a really safe place:

Well remembered Trolly!
It's the same picture, alright, now mysteriously part of the STS-118 Shuttle Mission Imagery collection.
It's a bit of a worry really - NASA disburses billions of dollars and they re-use old photos for the latest mission??
I am reminded of that American flag flapping gently on a lunar surface where no wind should blow...
Conspiracy theory anyone?
