Deep Space 9



A very close pass at DS9

Yes, you can fly into the structure. The top left arm. The end of it... That's the close up.
















THIS is what our international space station should look like. Baby steps, I guess....








Celestia

I know, I know... I am loading up the site with space pictures, but there is so much to see out there! It is kinda like looking at somebody's vacation pictures... you get the moment but not the fun of the trip to get there. So go get your own free download at http://www.shatters.net/celestia/. It is not a large or real complicated program and a lot of fun. A very good space simulator and a chance to add on some cool stuff. I always have a big fight with zip files and just had a three day fight to get some Star Trek stuff incorporated into the program. Well, I needed someone to visit with, now didn't I. By now you have seen the Trek postings. Live long and Prosper!

The top picture is Uranus and one of the many moons called Miranda.



Mars and moon called Phobos.

Almost Sunrise.
