Paper Airplane Launched to Edge of Space

A composite image of the view from the PARIS plane as it flew about 15 miles above the countryside near Madrid, Spain. This picture was made from several consecutive images shot by a small Kodak camera carried by the plane, stitched together with computer software by Jon Grove, a member of the team. They had backing from The Register, a British website. (PARIS project, courtesy of http://www.theregister.co.uk/science/paris/)
