Plus! Space2, known as StarTracks in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, is a wallpaper included in Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP's Space theme as an alternative option. It is a long exposure shot of Mount Baker, Whatcom County, Washington, USA^[1] during a starry night. The wallpaper is very elusive as not only is it unknown who took it, it is unknown where it comes from. As other Plus! XP wallpapers are known to have came from Getty Images, it is very likely it was also licensed from there. No link can be found on TinEye, meaning if it was on Getty it was likely taken down before 2012. The metadata doesn't provide any clues either, although its original filename could hint it was recolored to blue.
