This is one of the most amazing Flickr sets I’ve seen! These guys launched a Pentax k10d digital SLR below a weather balloon and it went over 20 miles up to the very outer limits of the atmosphere taking photos the whole way.

Just gorgeous!! Kudos to that team at Oklahoma State!

Check out the set here:
