Canadarm2

STS110-E-5510 (13 April 2002) -- Some 240 miles above the blue and white Earth, astronaut
Jerry L. Ross works on the International Space Station during the mission's second spacewalk.
Towering above Ross is the station's robotic arm, or Canadarm2.

WOW high res 1.3 mb !!!

Blinks. A 1.3 megabyte JPEG!

Heh, tried to figure out how many pixels that would be, so I blew up a picture that I had... 3200x2400 (5.2 megapixels) came out to be 1.30 megs. My computer choked on that for a moment though =/

The image is 3032 X 2064 pixels or 6,258,048 pixels.

Size 1406701 bytes.

I've set the high res image as my desktop background. On my 21" monitor, it makes me feel like I'm looking out a window of the space station.

The detail in the foreground images of the International Space Station and astronaut is so vivid it makes me feel acrophobic to view earth from 240 miles.

On the high res image, one can read the label on the arm, which reads:

MOTOR EVA

MAINT. ANGLES
ELBOW + 164
PITCH + 3
ROLL - 25

And just below that (or above, in this perspective) is a lever which is labeled 'MATE'.

I thought that thing seemed vaguely phallic

At least it's wearing a glove.
