Astrophoto: Jumping for Joy at the Space Station

[/caption]

Yippee! This is the way I feel whenever I see the International Space Station passing overhead! Astrophotographer Pete Glastonbury from the UK posted this picture on my Facebook page when I mentioned what a great ISS pass I had just seen. In describing the image, Pete said, “My daughter Sammy suggested we use the trampoline to create the photo as a way to illustrate our desire to get into space.”

Lovely!

It’s one of the most amazing feats of mankind, made by the smartest minds and state-of-the-art tech. It’s definitely a reason to jump for joy!
