Space Shuttle Rising
Image Credit: NASAExplanation: What’s that rising from the clouds? The space shuttle. Sometimes, if you look out the window of an airplane at just the right time and place, you see something unusual — in this case a space shuttle launching to orbit. The
featured image of
Endeavour’s final launch in 2011 May was captured from a NASA shuttle training aircraft. Taken well above the clouds, the image can be matched with similar images of the same shuttle plume taken
below the clouds. Hot glowing gasses expelled by the engines are visible near the
rising shuttle, as well as a long smoke plume. A
shadow of the plume appears on the cloud deck, indicating the direction of the Sun. The
US Space Shuttle program concluded in 2011, and
Endeavour can now be
visited at the
California Science Center. Planned for tomorrow, however, is a different launch — that of the
Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) aboard a SpaceX
Falcon 9 rocket.
