Del Brummet takes photographs in far far outer space

(Seattle, WA) By Jack Brummet

Paranormal & Celestial Phenomena Editor, All This Is That

My son Del is taking photos in far far outer space. No, it's not on The Hubble...you have to have some pretty serious juice just to get thirty seconds on that baby. But, he is using the network of ground-based NASA/Harvard telescopes--a/k/a/ "micro-observatories" --that you control remotely from a computer. [Ed's note: "Far far" as opposed to near outer space, which you and I could reach in an hour driving the speed limit, if we could drive straight up.]

Here are some of the images he's shot and received back from NASA. Cick the photos to enlarge. These are images of the Whirpool Galaxy, Saturn, The Andromeda Galaxy, (you know this one) The Moon, and The Rng Nebula,
