What space images do you think aren't getting enough attention in the mainstream press?
This thread can serve as a counterweight to this one: What Images Do You Never Want To See Again? I've always been fond of this scene: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3...2000-001316.jpg |

Wow what a great idea!
Apollo 12 and Conrad have always been personal faves to me, and here is another shot from that flight that hasn't really been featured in the mainstream press, and another acronym for those who aren't familiar with it to google: NSFW  I always liked the MIR shots - seem more old school than the ISS pictures - 2 pics that have served me well as wallpaper are: MIR and Atlantis MIR over New Zealand MIR over Earth with Moon This is going to be a great thread - hoping everyone will contribute some "rare" gems!

I'm not sure if you could call this neglected, but what the heck -

QUOTE (lyford @ Dec 20 2005, 05:45 PM) I always liked the MIR shots MIR!That station was a glorious real-world example of George Lucas' "used future" concept. And what a thriller was life onboard, at times. An while we're at "hills & valleys", here's a " telephoto view from Station 6 featuring LM in distance" SFW! From the Apollo Image Gallery (Apollo 17) |

Astronomy Picture of the Day turns 11 years old and they celebrated with an
interesting collage of images, with a Mars Rover for a base. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060616.html APOD Turns Eleven Credit & Copyright: Herman Serrano -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
