George Lewycky's Space Places

This site is still under construction after scanning & uploading more photos (pre-digital era!!)

Hi there you Space buff. I thought of making this site consisting of photos I've taken of all the Space Places I've visited.

I'm a big aerospace and astronomy enthusiast and I've had some cool & wild behind the scenes tours and opportunities in my lifetime.

Back in 1990 I applied for time as an amateur to use the Hubble Space Telescope and got accepted. As a result of that I got to see some places real close up such as Goddard, Space Telescope Science Institute and JPL

Plus depending where I am I usually try to see a Space or Astronomy related place.

See my photos of Space Shuttle Enterprise being delivered by the 747 and later by ferry in New York City. Along with Manhattanhenge (Amazing Sunset on the Manhattan Grid )

Just added are my photos of April 2017 trip to Goddard where I saw the James Webb Space Telescope in the clean room - look for Goddard below
