Astronomy Advent Calendar – 15th December
December 15, 2011by yaska77
Where is December going?? We’re now well into the tail end of this astro advent calendar image count-down, but there are still awesome photos to come!
My top tip to a stress free Christmas? Start buying your presents early. Simple I know, but I’ve never been so organised, hence the extra time I have to put these images up each day!
Day 15
Astronomy Advent Calendar 15th December - NASA astronaut Ron Garan caught this Perseid meteor from above while on the ISS (click to enlarge) - Credit: @Astro_Ron (Ron Garan)
Did you spot any Perseids this year? Well Ron Garan did! Ron is an astronaut who took this cool pic of a Perseid from the window of the ISS in August and posted it to Twitter.
How often can you say you’ve seen a meteor from above?? Ron Garan was a prolific photograph poster during his stay on the ISS, and his account is graced with many of his superb shots. Give it a look here.
Amazing!
