APOD 4.6

This is the launch of the Endeavor, the final launch! (you were there). We rushed outside at school to view this historic event, but could simply not get a good view, so I envy you. This majestic photograph shows the rising plume of the spacecraft, captured by a shuttle training aircraft at the exact right moment. The Endeavor was docked at the international space station, and marks a major event in human history as it will be the last of its kind for a while.
