The telescope at Painter Hall on the University of Texas campus, with the 2005 Football National Championship “1″

Constellations painted on the ceiling of Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Photo August 2006.

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and one of its satellite galaxies (M32). Taken with the Prime Focus Camera on the 30-inch telescope at McDonald Observatory in 1998 (AASTRA participants took the images and then I combined them into the final color image you see here.)

Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Vega in the National Air and Space Museum. Photo September 2006.

Since I just finished listening to a biography of Amelia, I thought this would be a good choice this week.

Although I’m still not blogging at this site to the extent that I had intended when I set it up, I thought I would go ahead and mark the blog’s second year of existence. I still have some draft posts that I need to finish up and post so I’ll have something other than “Picture of the Week” posts!

Political cartoon honoring the contributions of JFK and LBJ to the first moon landing

Vostok spacecraft from the “To The Moon” exhibition, April 2009.

Recreation of a photo of the Mercury 7 astronauts. From the “To The Moon” exhibition, April 2009.

Painting of Galileo with a replica of one of his telescopes. From the “To The Moon” Exhibition, April 2009.

Another composite image of M33 (which I posted a different version of back in 2008). AASTRA participants took the images and then I combined them into the final color image you see here.
