Now ain’t that a purty sight!
Yes, I know that image is everywhere, but I don’t care! It’s a great shot, and it was created on government time so it’s not under copyright. Too bad the launch is scrubbed until tomorrow. I sure hope it goes up then, cause a month after tomorrow my astronauts go up to fix HST. And if this is delayed past tomorrow, SM4 starts slipping too. Which is okay for a couple days, but after that the trophy wife won’t get to go with me to watch.
Also, check out the EXIF data:
Exposure: | 0.003 sec (1/320) |
Aperture: | f/2.8 |
Focal Length: | 200 mm |
ISO Speed: | 500 |
Holy carp! Those are some bright fuckin’ lights!
UPDATE: Launch is delayed until No Earlier Than March 15. And SM4 doesn’t actually slip unless this guy slips past somewhere in the 3/17 to 3/20 range.
