Baby Monitor Picks up Shuttle Atlantis Video

When a new mom in Palatine went to check her baby monitor recently, she saw a picture that was literally out of this world.

Natalie Meilinger regularly keeps a close eye on 3-and-a-half-month-old jack. A baby video monitor sits just a few feet from his crib, capturing images of him sleeping. That is, until this week, when those images went from Jack’s room to outer space.

“I'm going why am I picking up NASA or the space station, then I just went to bed. Sure enough put it on in the morning and screamed... 'It's NASA! It's a space station! Why are we getting this?'” Meilinger said.

Since Sunday, the Meilingers’ baby monitor has been showing the space shuttle Atlantis docked at the International Space Station. They've seen a space walk, the earth and mission control.
