    Hmm... No. It gave us images of only a few planets :D .

    To be more precise it's like a flying telescope (the one the question mentions :D )

    The SR-71 Blackbird set a world-speed record on a flight from New York City to London by flying the 3470 mile distance in 1 hour 55 minutes.

    Edit: Typo.

    Will has the good answer! Such a beautiful aircraft.

    After 25 questions, here's the score :

    1st - Will : 500 pts
    2nd - Mark : 315 pts
    3rd - Chris : 155 pts
    4th - Tim : 125 pts
    5th - Omar A : 100 pts
    6th - Aaron : 50 pts
    6th - Amy : 50 pts

    Will is leading the pack by 185 points, but Mark is getting closer (shoe size has increased?). Chris, Tim and Omar A are pretty close, and finally Aaron and Amy have 50 points.

    New questions soon!
