Pictures from the edge of space
A group of students from Cambridge University recently launched a small weather balloon equipped with a digital cam that reached the height of 32km and took over 800 pictures. They have published all the images in a Picassa gallery on their website. Check out some of these images - they are quite amazing:
Not bad for a student project, eh? Most of us will never experience being so high up in the air. But then again something as simple as a student made balloon rig can lift a digital camera almost to the edge of space, and bring back such breath taking pictures. Makes you think…

Yeah, I wish we did stuff like that in my science classes.
