Viewing California From Kansas!

This is a cool space station site!


Ed took this photograph of the Earth’s horizon from a spacecraft position over Dodge City, Kansas, looking westward out the window. In the lower right is the Great Salt Lake. At the left side in the distance are the Sierra Nevada Mountains with elevations between 12,000 and 15,000 feet, and coastal California. ISS007-E-9986 (July 11, 2003, 50 mm lens)

Meteorite Hits The Moon!

On June 13, 2006 a meteorite crashed into the Moon! While this happens all the time because the Moon has no atmosphere to protect it, I think it's pretty cool.

It was estimated at 10 inches in diameter and was going an estimated 85,000 an hour! Are you kidding me? So thankful we have the atmosphere to protect and provide for us. God knows what he doing.
