On to Outer Space!

This from Stewart's textbook, preface page xvii, picture i.3. At first glance, the satellite looks like its actually in space. With the light glaring straight from one side simulating the harsh uncompromising glare of the sun from outside our atmosphere, and with no other immediately visible light source, the picture does capture some of the stark-ness of space, the atmosphere of extreme cold and mystery of the void. Then you start looking into the corners and along the borders of the picture, and realize that the satellite is actually sitting on a frame and is not in fact in space.
