STS-117 launch...interesting plume

Post by iamlucky13 » Mon Jun 11, 2007 9:30 pm

NASA has a great image from after Atlantis' launch on Friday. I saw the image here:
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shutt ... aunch.html

I think there's plenty to be presented on either lighting of high clouds after sunset, condensation, circulation, the shuttle, or the VAB, plus it's simply an eye-catching picture.
