Citizens of planet earth typically watch meteor showers by looking up. But this remarkable view, captured on 8/13/11 by astronaut Ron Garan, caught a Perseid meteor by looking down. From Garan's perspective onboard the ISS orbiting at an altitude of about 380 kilometers, the Perseid meteors streak below. The glowing comet dust grains are traveling at about 60 kilometers per second through the denser atmosphere around 100 kilometers above Earth's surface. -- SETI Institute [15]

"We call it 'Veggie "It's a plant growth chamber designed to make gardens thrive in weightlessness"...

"Our first crop will be a variety of lettuce called 'Outredgeous,'" says Kennedy Space Center team leader Gioia Massa. "It is delicious."

Thank you Gioia Massa ! -- http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/aug/10/nasa-astronauts-lettuce-vegetables-grown-space
