ROCKET EXPLOSION: Australian astronomer Ray Palmer was photographing the Southern Cross from his observatory in Western Australia on Feb. 19th when a flaming plume cut across the Milky Way. "I had no idea what it was," he says. "It was moving very slowly and I was able to track it for 35 minutes."

Says a lot about our grand plans to reach the moon and mars when putting a satellite into low earth orbit is still fraught with danger, great pics and movie- the man from Prestwick, Mr McNaught does it again.

Great picture, with all the "junk" lying around up there at least there may be more to come some time.
