Cool Links for Space Junkies

05/19/2010 8:36 AM

If you're as fascinated with pictures from space as much as I am, then you might want to check out this new blog that features a picture of the week from the Hubble telescope. It just launched at the end of April, but it might be a good one to add to your feed reader and watch develop: http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/potw/

Another link to follow is the twitter feed of JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi who posts pictures from aboard the ISS. He even posted a couple pictures of crew working with the robotic arms, which I found to be somewhat 2001-esque.

Check him out here: http://twitter.com/Astro_Soichi

What are some of your favorite places to see pictures from space?

That is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

I have DISH Network, and there is (or was, it isn't working for the past few days) a channel with real-time video of earth, seen from their Echostar 11 satellite.

I would have a look at least once a day... I hope the loss is temporary.
