Using a weather balloon the students launched a camera into space and got it high enough to photograph the curvature of the earth.http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/09/21/space.camera.icarus.ireport/index.html

That is amazing that a weather balloon could go high enough to take a photograhp of the Earth. I think that this photograph could lead to more people trying to get pictures of the Earth.
