Atlantis Farewell from Parkes

COSMIC MESSAGE
The Parkes 64-meter radio telescope, known for its role in Apollo 11, stands in the foreground of this Australian skyscape. Above it, constellations like Vela, Puppis, and Hydra are visible. Streaking across the sky is the Space Shuttle Atlantis, glinting in sunlight, on its final mission, a sight that will not be seen again.
