Just a note about the shuttle launch pictures listed above; I received an email from a NASA guy who informs me that those pictures are not from the ISS at all, but from a ‘chaser plane’ that tracks shuttle launches – which in hindsight makes sense. As the guy puts it:

“…the ISS is 250 miles in orbit, not 60,000ft in the air.”

I stand corrected. Still, beautiful images, though!
