Discovery was the third Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle to fly in space. It entered service in 1984 and retired from spaceflight as the oldest and most accomplished orbiter, the champion of the shuttle fleet. Discovery flew on 39 Earth-orbital missions, spent a total of 365 days in space, and traveled almost 240 million kilometers (150 million miles)--more than the other orbiters. It shuttled 184 men and women into space and back, many of whom flew more than once, for a record-setting total crew count of 251.
Because Discovery flew every kind of mission the Space Shuttle was meant to fly, it embodies well the 30-year history of U.S. human spaceflight from 1981 to 2011. Named for renowned sailing ships of exploration, Discovery is preserved as intact as possible as it last flew in 2011 on the 133rd Space Shuttle mission.
NASA transferred Discovery to the Smithsonian in April 2012 after a delivery flight over the nation's capital.

This excellent grouping of three moons -- Dione, Tethys and Pandora --
near the rings provides a sampling of the diversity of worlds that exists
in Saturn's realm.
A 330-kilometer-wide (205 mile) impact basin can be seen near the bottom
right on Dione (at left). Ithaca Chasma and the region imaged during the
Cassini spacecraft's Sept. 24, 2005, flyby can be seen on Tethys (middle).
Little Pandora makes a good showing here as well, displaying a hint of
surface detail.
Tethys is on the far side of the rings in this view; Dione and Pandora are
much nearer to the Cassini spacecraft.
Dione is 1,126 kilometers (700 miles) across. Tethys is 1,071 kilometers
(665 miles) across and Pandora is 84 kilometers (52 miles) across.
This image was taken in visible blue light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on Sept. 22, 2005, at a distance of approximately 1.2
million kilometers (800,000 miles) from Saturn. The image scale is about
5 kilometers (3 miles) per pixel on Dione and Pandora and 9 kilometers (6
miles) per pixel on Tethys.
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 operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

This image uses the element of art: space. This is because the subject is the dog, however, there is a lot of space around the dog that isn't being used. I think that the most visually striking aspect of this photograph is the dog. If I could take this picture again I would bring the dog to another place where there's less leaves. Also, I would keep the person's leg out of the frame.
Two weeks after orbit insertion, Cassini glanced back at Saturn, taking
in the entire planet and its expansive rings. Currently it is summer in
Saturn's southern hemisphere. Notable here is the bright spot located
near the planet's southern hemisphere, where the line from the day and
night side of the planet meets. The angle of illumination hints at
Saturn's tilt relative to the Sun.
The image was taken in visible red light with the Cassini spacecraft wide
angle camera on July 13, 2004, from a distance of about 5 million
kilometers (3.1 million miles) from Saturn. The Sun-Saturn-spacecraft,
or phase angle of this image is 95 degrees. The image scale is 299
kilometers (186 miles) per pixel. Contrast has been enhanced slightly
to aid visibility.

Green space at St Chad's Circus.
Near St Chad's Cathedral.
From the mid 1960s until the mid 2000s, there used to be subways here, plus a sunken area for pedestrians, with the road going around the top.
This was all filled in and redeveloped in 2006-7, ahead of the building of the Snowhill offices (the last one only completed by 2020).
Near Shadwell Street, Old Snow Hill and St Chad's Circus Queensway.

Background, the window of the spaceship is tempered glass, the robot will be stained glass and found objects. It is a 2 panel piece.
The Cassini spacecraft monitors the myriad cloud forms that drift in
Saturn's atmosphere, helping scientists gain a better understanding of how
energy is transported around, and from within, the planet.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 23
degrees above the ringplane. Saturn's shadow hides the rings at top.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Feb.
25, 2008 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared
light centered at 752 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of
approximately 1.6 million kilometers (1 million miles) from Saturn. Image
scale is 94 kilometers (58 miles) per pixel.
