Amazing. I remember watching the very first R-bar pitch maneuver way back when on my way old computer, and the Earth appeared to be directly below (though it filled the whole frame, so I really can't determine the angle of the camera), so I think this is where I got the idea in my head. Thanks for the image. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 08:06, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Question Is the above linked picture a potential FP nom btw? I think it's fantastic and seems a good size, but I wouldn't be confident in nomming myself - still consider myself a bit of a newb in relation to wiki editing... gazhiley.co.uk 13:39, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think some of the other photos in that series have better compositions, they're new and actually the first external photos of a Space Shuttle docked at the ISS. See Commons:Category:Soyuz_TMA-20 for the others. Some of them are certainly FP-quality. --KFP (contact | edits) 06:57, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There are some looooooooovely photographs there... Thank you for the link... gazhiley 14:11, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The solar panels which run parallel to the Earth's surface and several of the cloud tops are blown... Is there no way to get a version with a better processing/better exposure? - Zephyris Talk 15:59, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, unless I'm mistaken those brightest bits are radiators (which are considerably more reflective than the solar panels). Also, I suppose the sunlight gets pretty intense up there with no atmosphere to attenuate it. --KFP (contact | edits) 17:04, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(If you look at the radiators in the old FP, you can see solar panels' pattern reflected on them; that's how reflective they are.) --KFP (contact | edits) 18:28, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, yes, they are incredibly reflective! Given that I think I can forgive this technical imperfection :) - Zephyris Talk 12:25, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
