My sister Liz brought the following to my attention. It's from a NASA webpage that posts a new picture every day.

Today's image from the Space Station
Be sure to follow ther hotlinks for "tools" and "handyperson" in the accompanying text.

Here are the links for previous years:

Lunar Field Goal (1998)
Ski Mars! (1999)
The First Space Quidditch Match (2001)
The Moon's Expiration Date (2002)
A New Constellation (2003)
The Martian Effect (2004)
Water on Mars (2005)

(2007 was a repeat of 2001; 2006 was a repeat of 2002; 2000 wasn't a joke at all. Lame, huh?)

If you are interested in using space images for your desktop or whatever...
there is a nice website at:

www.space.com

There are actual images from Hubble, the Space Station and some Earth based telescopes, as well as artist renderings of advanced designs for new spacecraft and just plain imagination pieces.

Its worth a look. smile.gif jeep.gif



That which has been established will endure even with time and at a distance.

I can't tell you anything about what happens after the cameras go off, mostly because I'm usually unconscious by then.

The APOD site is also good for that kind of cool desktop imagery; the other 364 days of the year, that is.

It's cool. stelar dust forming the head of a horse, real curious.



In my oppinion, Graham Bell has a lot to answer for. It gets harder and harder to escape from the world, the news and worst of all, people.
