Student takes stunning snaps of space using

When you think how much it costs the likes of NASA to take astonishing images like this, it’s even more impressive what a teenager can do on a £200 budget.

Adam Cudworth, 19, of Ombersley, Worcestershire, managed to capture these incredible views of the earth from space - using little more than a balloon and a second-hand £30 camera bought on eBay.

With a scientific background consisting of just a physics A-Level, Adam spent 40 hours working on a homemade box with a GPS tracker, radio and microprocessor - which he released last Thursday.

Bloody kids nowadays. They're either playing video games all day or showing up the adults with their balloon-cameras. Amazing and beautiful photos. I hope he does it again or someone else follows along in the idea.
