During National Hispanic Heritage Month, we're celebrating the contributions of the brilliant Hispanic women and men of NASA. In this Feb. 2007 photo, astronaut Michael E. Lopez-Alegria, Expedition 14 commander, participates in a 6-hour, 40-minute spacewalk as construction continues on the International Space Station. via NASA ift.tt/2ImZuIn
Day 7 of my 365. I again didn't get a chance to do much unril late. I hit on the idea of pointing the camera straight up at the sky with only the stars and scudding clouds in view.
I merged 3 images from slightly different positions to create this shot.
Canon EOS 1000D and Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-.56
Raw Conversion Adobe Camera Raw 8.1
Postprocessing Photoshop CS6
I decided that Poe needs a greek name to fit in with the rest of the girls, but I don't want to rename her so she is getting the middle name Coronis

International Space Station and Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-119) shortly after the deployment of the S6 3B solar array wings. Friday March 20, 2009 - 08:31 PM ADT.
The International Space Station flew over head last night while I was doing some long exposures of the stars. A nice surprise.
Lit by reflected light from Saturn, Enceladus appears to hover above the
gleaming rings, its well-defined ice particle jets spraying a continuous
hail of tiny ice grains. The fine particles coat the moon in a mantle as
white as fresh snow and populate the torus, or doughnut-shaped E ring in
which Enceladus resides.
Beyond Enceladus (505 kilometers, or 314 miles across), the fine particles
in Saturn's other rings also glow brilliantly in scattered light in this
viewing geometry. Running horizontally across the center of the image,
between Enceladus and the dazzlingly bright F ring, are two faint rings --
kin of the E ring. These are the G ring (top) and the recently discovered
ring designated R/2006 S1 (bottom), which is also unofficially known as
the Janus/Epimetheus ring.
This image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on March 22, 2006, at a distance of approximately
1.303 million kilometers (810,000 miles) from Enceladus and at a
sun-Enceladus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 160 degrees. Image scale is
8 kilometers (5 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 operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

Cassini's ability to remain sharply pointed at its targets allowed this
image of Saturn's faint, dusty G ring to be made. The thin streaks visible
here are star trails, which are created during long exposures, when the
spacecraft remains locked onto a target. The camera shutter was open for
three-and-a-half minutes during this particular exposure. A long exposure
was required to see details of this quite tenuous ring.
The feature inside the G ring, at upper right, is also a star trail.
The image was taken in polarized visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on March 7, 2005, at a distance of approximately 1.2
million kilometers (750,000 miles) from Saturn. The image scale is 10
kilometers (9 miles) per pixel.
