Astronomers at a Boston-area high school snapped this stunning picture of the space shuttle Atlantis docking with the International Space Station, 190 nautical miles up. The folks at the Clay Center Observatory did it with a 25-inch diameter telescope in combination with a digital video camera -- and nothing but the simplest "adaptive optics" (bendable mirrors, which correct for how the atmosphere warps the light). "Makes one wonder what certain military/government instruments can do in similar situations," one observer quips.
