You can see a picture of an ISS solar array in a laboratory on Earth: http://lmms.external.lmco.com/photos/solar_arrays/space_station/spacestat ionarray1_lo.jpg [Be patient, it takes a couple of minutes to load at 56k] It seems like when the viewer is directly opposite the shining of light on the solar array, the color is gold. But when the angle of light is different, then the color resembles blue. Thought this would be relevant to recent conversation. At: http://lmms.external.lmco.com/photos/solar_arrays/milstar/milstar_solar_w ing_lo.jpg You can see a close-up of a milstar solar panel, and why it can appear to be both gold-colored and blue-colored. Another good ISS solar panel picture at: http://lmms.external.lmco.com/photos/solar_arrays/space_station/spacestat ion_solararray2_lo.jpg ------------------------------ Jonathan T.
