NH Junior High Science Project – Weather Balloon Gets Pictures

Jack Miron, an eight grade student from Bedford, NH, recently launched a weather balloon as part of a science project. After the launch, the balloon rose to a height of over 100,000 feet, and the on-board coamera got some very interesting pictures. ( The balloon caused a bit of a commotion when in landed some twenty miles away, in Manchester.)
