Standing almost right below it. Love this thing. Too bad they charge an arm and a leg to go up in it...it would have been $70 or so for my whole family to go up. :( Little too much for a few minutes of viewing. One of these days I'll take the kids up...
Cassini offers this lovely, crisp view of Saturn, which shows detail in
the planet's banded atmosphere, as well as the delicate ring system.
The image has been rotated so that north on Saturn is up; the Sun
illuminates Saturn from below. Saturn's tilt throws ghostly shadows of
the rings onto the northern hemisphere during the current season.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide angle camera on Jan.
23, 2005, at a distance of approximately 2.8 million kilometers (1.7
million miles) from Saturn through a filter sensitive to wavelengths of
infrared light centered at 728 nanometers. The image scale is 166
kilometers (103 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the
European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in
Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate,
Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were
designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at
the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

Team Space Cadets pilot assuming proper position for landing the craft built for the Red Bull Flugtag in Miami.
This fish turned out to be camera shy, but I got its colorful backside, which turned out to be quite interesting.
I like the empty space of this shot, the seclusion and tiny details like the air bubbles.

The surface looks like a protective quilt with a lot of ribbing, was thrown over the shuttle.
I'm thinking sunflare planets and cloud nebulosas I can even see a red dwarf or is that Pluto.Or am I totally spaced out.

I tried to make this look as surreal as possible, this is a view looking up to the top of the building, and at night it almost looks strange from the right angles!
Space Shuttle Endeavour is a retired orbiter from NASA's Space Shuttle program and the fifth and final operational shuttle built. It embarked on its first mission, STS-49, in May 1992 and its 25th and final mission, STS-134, in May 2011.
Rita Letendre (b. 1928) acrylic on canvas at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Written near the installation: Rita Letendre is one of Canada's greatest living artists. Born in Drummondville, Quebec to Abenaki and Quebecois parents, Letendre began painting in Montreal in the 1940s. Renowned for her bold and visceral style, Letendre has pushed the boundaries of color, light, and space to new heights. In a career that spans over sixty-five years, Rita Letendre has used a brush, airbrush, palette knife and her hands to express the spirit of life. Vibrating with physical and emotional energy, her works embody her ongoing quest for connection and understanding. She makes fiery pain and passion visible and deploys light like a beacon of hope to explore human emotion and existence.
