An Out-Of-This-World Space Photo Contest

Igor Carron writes "When the next Shuttle mission goes up next January (STS-107), it will lift off with a star tracker camera built at Texas A&M University in its payload bay. "Because we can", we decided to hold a contest with the pictures taken from this camera real time during the mission. The star pictures will be uploaded from Mission Control onto a web site where everybody will be able to participate. Note that the first two contests are reserved for high school students in the U.S. The third contest is open to anybody but will be much more difficult. More information can be found here. Good luck..."
