Pics from Space Shuttles Atlantis

Here are some images taken of the Space Shuttle's 7 day stint at the International Space Station:

Tomorrow the Space Shuttle Atlantis is due to touch down on Earth after a successful seven-day mission to deliver vital equipment to the International Space Station.
During the past week as astronauts stockpiled the outpost and performed maintenance a series of stunning images were taken which we reveal here.
Previously when images were released by Nasa they were soon after the event but still very fuzzy. It is only on recent missions that images of this quality of image were released almost as soon as they had happened. They are testament to the rapid advances in technology available to both the public and space scientists.

I've had to crop the images so they will fit here:

The pics you have look great! Thanks.
The sun looks very bright up there.

I'm waiting for the UFO's to appear.

Good pics though. Nice and clear.

Cool!!!! I am so jealous of them! That has got to be the best view of Earth and I sure hope they know how special they are with that job! I can only imagine the stuff they see and know. I knew I should have gone to astronaut school instead of band camp

Here's an article from 10 days ago giving some background information on the Space Shuttle Atlantis:

NASA's Atlantis shuttle blasted off Monday with a haul of spare parts for the International Space Station and some microscopic worms that could explain muscle loss in space.

Here it is lifting off on November 16th:

Here is an article about the worms. A video of the launch is included:

Definitely one of the coolest careers of all ... if only I could go back in time and choose differently... *sigh*

Great pictures!

Is that Space bird-aliens escaping from the Shuttle after hitch-hicking a ride back to earth, put a call out to Dan Tanna to kick those pesky bird-alien backsides back into space!!

I think those birds are lucky they were there for the landing instead of the take-off, or they would have been burnt to a crisp
