Comet "Atlantis"


This photograph of Space Shuttle Atlantis leaving space for the final time was taken from the International Space Station (parts of which are in the photo) on July 21st. The streak behind Atlantis is a plume of ionized plasma created by the shuttle's descent through the atmosphere.
