This breathtaking photo shows a high-altitude balloon moments after it burst at a mind-bending 111,000 feet above northern Greece. The balloon was launched by the SlaRos project, which bills itself as Greece's the first sub-orbital photography effort. The image was captured by a GoPro Hero3 HD camera.


NASA's Earth Science website featured the image as its photo of the day Sept. 19, 2013, pointing out that all high-altitude balloons explode when the atmospheric pressure drops so low that the balloon can't contain the expanding gas inside of it.
