Lunar Eclipse 2010 time lapse

A great time lapse video of the lunar eclipse from late monday/early tuesday  morning.  It was a shame that it was so cloudy here in Minnesota that I could not really see it at all.  Also an interesting fact that for the first time since at least 1638 that a lunar eclipse and the winter solstice have coincided.

An astronauts wondrous view of Earth

A great picture of Astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson taking a moment to look down at Earth from the International Space Station. The space station orbits Earth from 217 miles above.  Pictures like these just amazingly help to bring across the wonder and the beauty that we can get from space exploration among other reasons to continue it.
