Full Resolution Here's Nic, Jason, Aaron, and Ted. Aaron managed to keep his arm pointed at the Milky Way for the entire 178 seconds! The south celestial pole is obvious -- it's where the star trails turn into static points, a bit left of the center.
NB: NASA picked up this photo and for a few weeks used it as the NASA banner photo on their Facebook account, with 6000+ likes. Awesome! (As of today, they've changed it to shot of the ISS + American flag.)
What I love about this shot is that while it is 'posed' (in the sense that I told them to hold still!), we're really out there doing science, and this is really what we get to do, and it's great.
