Hey, Russ... I didn't know you were into the stars, astronomy, etc. This is a cool photo!
Really awesome pic. And he has a twinkle in his eye!
Guys, I should have mentioned there's another photo of this at Wikipedia, slightly different angle but also awesome, check it out.
The twinkle thing I didn't notice till you mentioned it Dave, cool way of putting it.
