Shuttle Plume
This twisted plume is the leftover smoke from the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. It was captured shortly after liftoff, high above NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building. Rocket launches often create picturesque plumes as they ascend through the atmosphere. The Space Shuttle was on a mission to the International Space Station, delivering a new backbone truss segment.
