SPACE STATION COMMANDER CAPTURES UNPRECEDENTED VIEW OF COMET
HOUSTON -- International Space Station Commander Dan Burbank captured
spectacular imagery of Comet Lovejoy, viewed from about 240 miles
above the Earth's horizon on Wednesday, Dec. 21.
Today Burbank described seeing the comet as "the most amazing thing I
have ever seen in space," in an interview with WDIV-TV in Detroit.
Burbank took hundreds of still images of the comet.
The images also were processed into a time-lapse video that will air
on NASA TV at 4 p.m. CST.
The video, including Burbanks' comments, and a selection of the
individual images are available online at:
