Amazing space photos made for under $150--MIT students project
on: September 21, 2009, 11:05:04 PM
A couple of MIT students had a great idea to take photos from the upper stratosphere and possibly the blackness of space. Budget? Under $150. Here are a couple of links to the full story.

CNN report.

Still image time lapse of all the photos.
