La Estación Espacial Internacional en toda su gloria

Esta debe ser una de las mejores fotografías de la Estación Espacial Internacional (ISS) —si no es la mejor— que he visto hasta ahora:



De fondo, la oscuridad del espacio, cortada a lo largo por el leve arco azulado y delgado de la atmósfera terrestre. Parcialmente superpuestos y en contraste con dicha curva, se distinguen en tonos dorados y resplandecientes de los cuatro conjuntos de paneles solares desplegados de la ISS, que se extiende por primera vez con su máxima longitud final.

A la derecha de la imagen, el borde amarronado de la ventana del transbordador Discovery (STS-119), a través de la cual se tomó la fotografía, parece trazar la falsa curvatura de la Tierra. La imagen fue tomada el 25 de marzo, cuando el transbordador se separaba de la estación. Tres días más tarde, el Discovery aterrizó en Cabo Cañaveral, dando por finalizada la misión STS-119 de la flota de transbordadores y cumpliendo con los objetivos previstos.

  1. Many people argue that eating too many plants grown with
    commercial fertilizers or pesticides can cause health problems.
    As much as you may want to grow radishes and lentils in
    your kitchen you don't want to blemish your frugal reputation. Organic gardening teaches kids about the value of hard work and its rewards.

  2. I think people felt bad for me afterwards because of how nervous I was.
    We had no problem finding a space, though, despite the
    fact that there was a performance that night. The pizza is a style of Italian street food stuff that travelled around
    Europe and round the Atlantic Ocean as well as reached America where by it became the most famous
    form of ready made meals in American heritage.

  4. It is indeed possible to lower high blood pressure by only taking herbal medicines and vitamins and eating certain foods that can lower high blood pressure.
    As someone who believes in natural healing methods more than the traditional
    medicine which has its own side effects, I liked the fact that she
    focuses on natural methods of healing from yeast infection.

    Also like many single parents, Sebastiao is hoping to
    share the bills with her former spouse. Yet again,
    new advances and engineering make these procedures rapid and helpful,
    and this cuts down on the value tremendously. o - Focus on the optometry practice (no ambition to supply a retail eyewear

  7. Also, they are lighter and can be used around plants which prefer somewhat acid content
    in the soil composition. And your shoes will not be tracking
    soil into the house. In this same respect, mulch aids in
    the prevention of soil splashing onto plants.

  9. This can be flight simulator version FS2002, FS2004 or the latest version of Flight Simulator,
    FSX. Even recommended system specs had difficulties coping with the games demands on first launch when flying
    over the more substantial town locations. At this time,
    and in a good location, the leader should set up a few anchors
    and belay the second climber so he can climb up and hand off the equipment he has been recovering.
    There were a few problems with setting the game
    up, but once we went through the manuals, these were
    mostly explained. If youre a flight sim enthusiast, the you must try the king of flight simulator games.

  10. Still the health concerns mar the overall positive sides of this economic growth as people
    take their health problems as the cost of development which is indeed
    pretty higher. Just focus on one herb at a time that suits your present needs.

    slightly wavy hair, or curly hair. Since ages coconut oil has been used for curing skin as well as hair problems as it has anti fungal
    and anti bacterial properties. The herbal solution is
    said to be a natural one, but, this does not necessarily indicate that
    it is more effective than other available procedures.
