1920x1200 Wallpapers of ISS Fly-Around

[Johnny Rico]

I posted this on the STS-119 thread, but I fear it'd be lost amongst the other posts, so I think they deserve their own thread.

Now then, these images were taken from the NASA website...took some diggin' to find the full archive of theses photos, but I found'em. And then because they were taken "upside-down" (yeah I know, there's theoretically no up or down in space, but...) I have flipped them vertically, and then horizontally to get the correct view of the station. I have also enhanced them with a bit of sharpness, and contrast to bring out the colors of Earth and the station and to darken space.

Feel free to use them as your wallpapers.

There were others in the series, but I felt these were the most dynamic with regards to showing the station, Earth and then space all in the same shot.

Great, thanks.

Yeah, thanks for those. It's nice to finally see some good photos instead of computer drawn stuff.

I posted the youtube link for the flyaround here.

So, where's the shot of the station, the Earth and the shuttle?

I thought it was bigger.

I thought it was bigger.

Only when viewed in the RH rear view mirror.
