These two photos are from the latest Space Shuttle Atlantis mission (STS-129), which seemed to come and go much faster than the one before it.  At left, Atlantis prepares to dock at the International Space Station.  At right, the sunset through Earth’s thin blue atmosphere (photos by NASA).  These and ten more can be blown up to satisfyingly gorgeous proportions at ChamorroBible.

    Who did the crappy cut-and-paste job on that image? Doesn’t do the pictures at the site justice.
