Do these pictures exist? (Space travel/discovery)?

I was wondering if any of these pictures have been taken from Earth/ground:

> Spacecraft (shuttle, freighter or Soyuz) docking with or undocked from ISS?

> Apollo spacecraft in space (Command module and lunar module docked or docking?)

> Voyager, Cassini or New Horizons when travelling away from the Earth

> Apollo 10 lunar module

Thank you :)

    Under the right conditions in clear weather you can see spacecraft and satellites in orbit with the naked eye when they reflect sunlight.

    With a decent camera & lens and possibly a tracking mount (as they move fairly fast), some level of photograph is definitely possible so probably exists.

    What quality or detail level is another thing..

    Found one..

    The example below is the ISS taken from the earth's surface; any docked spacecraft would be visible on that scale so it is definitely possible.

    Apparently some people specialise in this - see the page below for the ISS and an approaching shuttle.

    The info on the page links to more from the same photographer.

    Probably they all exist. I've not seen any photographs of Voyager/Cassini/New Horizons in space, but they would be small and uninteresting. I've seen all the others myself, and they are readily available in Wikipedia or on the NASA web site.

    Contamination level in seaside of reactor2 still increasing / 2,100,000 → 2,400,000 Bq/L

    Fukushima Diary

    All β nuclide (including Strontium-90) density is still increasing in seaside of reactor2.

    After reaching 2,100,000 Bq/L on 12/26/2013, it became 2,400,000 Bq/L (↑ 14%). The sampling date was 1/13/2014.

    At this boring point, the contamination level keeps increasing (as the graph below). However Tokyo Electric denies the possibility of further leakage and state it is possibly because the groundwater pump is gathering highly contaminated water underground.

    It is possible.
