NevadaSat: High Altitude Balloon launch from US95 and I-80, September 27, 2009. Photo was taken with a fisheye lens from 107,000 feet. Over 500,000 square miles are shown in the field of view. As a reference, the distance to the horizon is 399 miles at this altitude, which is about 5 times the size of the State of Nevada. The dark blue body of water on the left of the images is Pyramid Lake and the large light area is the Carson Sink (Alkali Flat). The launch was sponsored by the Nevada NASA Space Grant Consortium.

This picture of Neptune was produced from the last whole planet images taken through the green and orange filters on the Voyager 2 narrow angle camera. The images were taken at a range of 4.4 million miles from the planet, 4 days and 20 hours before closest approach. The picture shows the Great Dark Spot and its companion bright smudge; on the west limb the fast moving bright feature called Scooter and the little dark spot are visible. These clouds were seen to persist for as long as Voyager's cameras could resolve them. North of these, a bright cloud band similar to the south polar streak may be seen.
