While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Astronauts' Menus Expand Along With Missions

The Space Shuttle Atlantis returned to Earth on Friday — ending a nearly two-week mission. As space missions have gotten longer, NASA is looking for ways to spice up the culinary options.

For the trip to the International Space Station, Atlantis astronauts brought the usual equipment and scientific experiments, but they also had a new assortment of food: chicken fajitas, seafood gumbo, meatloaf and beef stew.
