I saw these images inside a daily newspaper today. Above are a few online sources, and the second source has an extra photo zoomed all the way out that gives the size of he shuttle in perspective of the sunn.

I know this isn't really a conspiracy, but I think the Image is pretty cool and I wanted to try to share something different.
