The space shuttle Endeavour streaks across the sky of Treasure Hammock Ranch during its launch on 14 November 2008 at 7:55 p.m. from Kennedy Space Center. STS-126 is on a construction, resupply and crew transfer mission to the International Space Station. This is a composite image of two time exposures to control image washout from the nearby nearly full bright Moon showing the full trajectory track till the shuttle disappeared below the horizon. The wavy white line in the inset image is the smoke trail from the jettisoned solid rocket boosters as they fall toward the Atlantic Ocean. | |
