Seldom does a photographer show up so clearly in his own work as in the case of astronaut Peter J.K. (Jeff) Wisoff, reflected in the helmet visor of astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria, as the STS-92 mission specialist snapped this 35mm image in the cargo bay of the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Discovery. A good portion of a heavily cloud-covered Earth and part of the International Space Station are also mirrored in Lopez-Alegria's visor. October 15 2000.
