"Space is to place as eternity is to time." --Joseph Joubert

4 Students, A Camera & A Balloon

Teenagers armed with only an inexpensive camera and latex balloon have managed to take stunning pictures of space from 20-miles above Earth. Proving that you don't need Google's billions or the BBC weather center's resources, the four Spanish students managed to send a camera-operated weather balloon into the stratosphere. Taking atmospheric readings and photographs 20 miles above the ground, the Meteotek team of IES La Bisbal school in Catalonia completed their incredible experiment at the end of February this year.
