How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
Lucky astrochumps on the International Space Station just had a new room installed, but it's not just some nook cluttered with busy instruments - it's an observatory. Seven panels, full panorama, the whole cow. Made just for looking at space (plus some robotics work, and, famously, exercise on the C.O.L.B.E.R.T. treadmill). Above is NASA's concept art for the new node, below a concept drawing for 2001: A Space Odyssey.
