LONDON: While Nasa might spend millions to take snaps of the Earth, a teenager in the UK has captured stunning images of the planet by floating a secondhand camera worth £30 using a balloon. The photos look like they could be images taken from a multi-million pound Nasa satellite.
Adam Cudworth, 19, whose scientific background consists of a Physics A-Level , achieved his feat, on a £200 budget, the Daily Telegraph reported. He spent 40 hours working on a home-made device consisting of a box containing a GPS, radio and microprocessor , which soared to a height of 110,210 ft when he released it on last Thursday.
