AMLinington Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Gorgeous photo but I'm being dim - can't see the plane.
6Foot2 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Gorgeous photo but I'm being dim - can't see the plane. I know where it is but I would rather not reveal yet in case any other Edugeekers want to try and find it first.
hardtailstar Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Gorgeous photo but I'm being dim - can't see the plane. The link doesn't say about a plane in the description.
6Foot2 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Oh I think I see it, is it bloody tiny? Yes. Very small.
AMLinington Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 NVM I spotted it. If you follow the link and zoom in you can see the contrails. I like the cloud shadows. Gorgeous photo.

6Foot2 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 Link: Images From Offworld - The Atlantic [28 pictures] Robotic probes launched by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and others are gathering information all across the solar system. We currently have spacecraft in orbit around the Sun, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, a comet, and Saturn; two operational rovers on Mars; and a recent close flyby of Pluto and its moons. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are still performing experiments in low Earth orbit and sending back amazing photos. With all these eyes in the sky, I’d like to take another opportunity to put together a recent photo album of our solar system—a set of family portraits, of sorts—as seen by our astronauts and mechanical emissaries. This time, we have close-ups of Pluto and of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, a closer look at bright spots on dwarf planet Ceres, several eclipses, wonderful images of Saturn and its moons, and, of course, lovely images of our home, planet Earth. http://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/photo/2015/09/images-from-offworld/o06_RTR4VRHW/main_900.jpg?GE2DIMZQGMYTANBVFYYA====
