    unknownskywalker: European nighttime Parts of a number of European nations appear in this nighttime image taken from the International Space Station in Feb. 2, 2012. The scene shows the British Isles (left, partially obstructed by one of the space station’s solar array panels) with London just right of bottom center; the English Channel, which is dark; Paris (lower right corner); and the Netherlands (right side). The greenish airglow is fairly uniform and minor until it transitions to daybreak on the right.

    unknownskywalker: Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area This nighttime image, photographed in Feb. 2, 2012 by one of the members of the Expedition 30 crew from the International Space Station, features the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area strung along the southwest shore of Lake Michigan. The region is partially covered by clouds, probably low-hanging, or even fog. Meteorologists say there is a fine line between low thin clouds and fog. Fog is not common in the Great Lakes area this time of the year (usually too windy), but this has been an exceptionally mild winter. The faint gold line of airglow—caused by ultraviolet radiation exciting the gas molecules in the upper atmosphere—parallels the horizon or Earth limb. Minor auroral activity (Borealis) is visible in upper right.

    scanzen: Space Shuttle Enterprise in 1983 when a NASA delegation and the Enterprise mounted on a Boeing 747 visited the airport Cologne/Bonn in Germany. The Cologne/Bonn airport served as one of 19 non-american abort landing sites throughout the shuttle program. Photo by Frank Kehren The Space Shuttle Enterprise (which never went into orbit, it was a prototype to test the gliding characteristics) will soon be on display at N.Y.C.’s U.S.S. Intrepid see http://www.intrepidmuseum.org/shuttle/

    hazel-nut49: Paragliding over the beach shores of La Jolla in San Diego. Nothing beats the 20 minutes up there soring with the birds in the thermals. So calm, relaxing, and peaceful up there. Amazing, thank you Torrey Pines Gliderport!!!
