The photo of the Earth\u2019s curvature above was not taken with an expensive camera aboard a rocket.

On Monday, he finally got the clear weather and the CAA clearance to do so. During the device\u2019s three-hour flight, the Raspberry Pi camera took these amazing photos of the Earth below.<\/p>\n<p>The timing is fortuitous, as Thursday\u2019s new edition of <i>Wired UK<\/i> makes Raspberry Pi its cover subject.
