The Leading Edge

A close-up view of the exterior of space shuttle Endeavour's crew cabin, starboard wing and payload bay door was provided by the station's Expedition 16 crew. Before docking with the station, STS-123 commander Dominic Gorie flew the shuttle through a roll pitch maneuver, basically a backflip, to provide the station crew with a good view of Endeavour's heat shield.

Using digital still cameras equipped with both 400 and 800 millimeter lenses, the station crew took a number of photos of the shuttle's thermal protection system and sent them to teams on the ground for analysis. A 400 millimeter lens was used for this image.

Last Weekend in Ottawa

Ottawa, March 2008 (Winter)

Last weekend, my wife and I were up in Ottawa. I had business on Monday/Tuesday, but we had the weekend. We looked for Stephen Harper (so I could moon him) on Parliament Hill, but could find him. My hopes of him being buried in snow was no realized. On Sunday, we drove into distinct foreign parts, by crossing over to Gatineau Park. There was a lot of snow there. At least three feet. It was winter!

M104, The Sombrero

The Sombrero Galaxy (also known as M104 or NGC 4594) is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. It has a bright nucleus, an unusually large central bulge, and a prominent dust lane in its inclined disk. The dark dust lane and the bulge give this galaxy the appearance of a sombrero. The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of 9.0, making it a galaxy that can easily be seen with amateur telescopes. The large bulge, the central supermassive black hole, and the dust lane all attract the attention of professional astronomers.
