This really looks better LARGER.
The Jules Verne spacecraft as well as the International Space Station and Space Shuttle Endeavour all flew over within a 10 minute period on March 25, 2008. While I managed to see all 3 of them, I only was able to photograph the ISS (brighter streak on left) and the Shuttle (the dimmer streak on the right). I put the camera on an equatorial mount for this because I thought I'd have the shutter open for about 10 minutes. While testing, I found out that even a 5 minute exposure was full of sky fog (well, I am in town...). This turned out to be about a 2.5 minute exposure. ISO 400, f/8, 17mm. (That should say MDT - I guess we are on daylight savings now...)

Ever wondered what the underside of a snail looks like?...... no, I haven't either.
I'd like to think that it is floating with the stars but it's just a dirty window.
Spacestation DARK STAR and the organic Spaceships ARROW CLASS MOTHERSHIP are both models which i created in Zbrush and rigged for Poser, available for Poser and Bryce at my store.
The Spacestation is one of 6 models which i call XSpheres will become public as set of 5 in the next days.
the space station is going overhead nightly the next few days. a good time for capturing it as the moon is late rising and the sky is dark. check the schedule in your area at iss.astroviewer.net/observation.php
tonight my photos required a LOT of post processing in order to be anything, hopefully tomorrow I'll get something better straight out of the camera.

"SpaceBall — A Trip To The Stars" is 2007's premier project of The Youth Mural Program sponsored by The City of Santa Fe Arts Commission and WareHouse 21 in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
A group of young artists led by mentor and professional mural artist Jenn Costas came together and reclaimed the buildings of Franklin Miles Park from chronic tags and graffiti when they dreamed up the idea of creating a SpaceBall theme.
Photo documented by marty kleva and GemFireAir through the months of April to September 2007, the entire project is the subject of a ten minute video: "Santa Fe SpaceBall — Pitch To The Stars"

An infographic to show how big the International Space Station really is next to something everyone will recognize, Lanbeau Field.
Tomato plants are growing under red and blue LED lights in a growth chamber inside a laboratory at the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The plant growth is being tested in the Veggie Passive Orbital Nutrient Delivery System (PONDS). Veggie PONDS is a direct follow-on to the Veg-01 and Veg-03 hardware and plant growth validation tests. The primary goal of this newly developed plant growing system, Veggie PONDS, is to demonstrate uniform plant growth. PONDS units have features that are designed to mitigate microgravity effects on water distribution, increase oxygen exchange and provide sufficient room for root zone growth. PONDS is planned for use during Veg-04 and Veg-05 on the International Space Station after the Veggie PONDS Validation flights on SpaceX-14 and OA-9. Photo credit: NASA/Cory Huston
This image shows the ISS airlock. The hatch can be seen at the side of the near end. The wider portion has lockers for spacesuits.
The ISS Hardware Integration Facility runs tests to ensure that all the space station modules, the products of many nations, work correctly with each other before launch. Most, if not all, of the modules seen here are now in orbit.
This image was taken on an April 2001 education trip to NASA for school pupils from Wales and Cornwall. At that time it was possible to go beyond the tourist route; the ISS modules seen here are real and not the mock ups shown to the public. 9/11 changed all that when we returned in 2002.
This image was taken on film and scanned shortly afterwards. The EXIF data refers to the scan.
This is a picture of the front half of the first Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), Jules Verne, which the European Space Agency (ESA) will use to transport supplies to the International Space Station.
This pic is/was in Explore. Its highest rating was #490 on 5 January 2008.
These are helium filled vessels which replicate modules of the international Space Station. As such they are buoyant and can be moved almost as though they were in space using the Canadarm 2, seen right of centre. This robotic arm enables space station construction and repair; it is a larger and more advanced version of the arm seen on each shuttle orbiter. Mid left and to the rear one can see a replica of the shuttle orbiter cargo bay, turned on its side, from which space station modules are extracted in orbit. Almost hidden, bottom left, is the space station window, part of the module just added to the ISS in February 2010.
So says Mark Shuttleworth, half-joking, as he advises me to head to
Baikonur to watch Charles Simonyi's launch into space on April
9. He did the trip to the International Space Station several
years ago....and lives to tell the tale, with compelling "home" videos.

"MODULAR SPACE STATION--An artist's concept, showing a six-man Space Station which can be transported to orbit by a Space Shuttle and then assembled in space. This concept was developed by engineers at North American Rockwell's (NR) Space Division in a design study for NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center. The goal of the study is to develop low-cost, extremely flexible station concept. As envisioned, the modular station would be made up of basic elements capable of being built on production line-like basis, and then outfitted for a particular role, such as crew quarters, control center, or dining room-galley."

Driving through Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Highway 30 a month or so ago I stumbled upon this space capsule. At the time, I really wish I had this song playing on the radio.
It would be nice to have a radio station play exactly what your life's emotions consist of when they inhabit your body.
Fortunately, my Buzzcocks cd "Singles Going Steady" was there to save the day.
