Very nice picture of the ISS


The International Space Station Expands Again
Credit: STS-122 Shuttle Crew, NASA

Explanation: The developing International Space Station (ISS) has changed its appearance again. Last month, the Space Shuttle orbiter Atlantis visited the ISS and added components that included the Columbus Science Laboratory. The entire array of expansive solar panels is visible in this picture taken by the Atlantis Crew after leaving the ISS to return to Earth. The world's foremost space outpost can be seen developing over the past several years by comparing the above image to past images. Also visible above are many different types of modules, a robotic arm, another impressive set of solar panels, and a supply ship. Construction began on the ISS in 1998.

5. If you go here, you can get a bigger image

Click on the image.

Yeah, I rotated the image in the original post because I think it's more dramatic with the Earth above.
