Shuttle Over Earth
The Space Shuttle Endeavour approaches the International Space Station in 2010. Astronauts watched it grow from a dot into a ship against the Earth's limb. The shuttle soon docked with the station, a familiar sight for those who lived and worked there. This image captures Endeavour framed by the Earth's atmospheric layers, a view only possible from orbit.
