Some cool International images:
International Space Station (NASA, March 2009)

Hi everyone -- I came across this image as part of something else I was working on today, and I thought it was too good not to share. An image of the backlit International Space Station, taken in March of 2009. Enjoy!

Moon Rock From Apollo 11 on International Space Station (NASA, 7/21/09)

I never realized this was mounted aboard the International Space Station. How cool!
A moon rock brought to Earth by Apollo 11, humans' first landing on the moon in July 1969, is shown as it floats aboard the International Space Station. Part of Earth can be seen through the window. The 3.6 billion year-old lunar sample was flown to the station aboard Space Shuttle mission STS-119 in April 2009 in honor of the July 2009 40th anniversary of the historic first moon landing. The rock, lunar sample 10072, was flown to the station to serve as a symbol of the nation's resolve to continue the exploration of space. It will be returned on shuttle mission STS-128 to be publicly displayed.
