A group of students have been able to capture amazing photos from space, using just a £55 camera and a balloon.The team of teenagers from Spain used a heavy duty latex balloon filled with helium to carry their camera 20 miles above the earth.
The Nikon camera was programmed to automatically take pictures on the flight which was expected to reach 30,000 - instead it got to over 100,000
A spokesperson for IES La Bisbal school said they were amazed at the quality of the images they captured ... so are a number of astronomers who have spent fortunes of high-powered telescopes.
