148th Show & Tell Competition: The Heavens Above

[pajamacat]

And now for something completely different... I am looking more for some cool night shots of the sky at night. One of my favorite web sites is Astronomy Picture of the Day. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/. Of course this is wide open. Stars, moons and UFO's are all welcome. Another great site is http://www.heavens-above.com which will show you when the space station and shuttle and such is visible from your area. The sky maybe the limit here. But remember... beauty has none. Good Luck!!
