Explanation:
As a gorgeous full Moon rose
above the eastern horizon on February 7,
the Space Shuttle Atlantis streaked skyward towards an orbital
rendezvous with the
International Space Station.
Watching from Orlando, Florida, about 60 miles west of the
Kennedy Space Center
launch site, photographer Tony DeVito captured this digital image,
one of a series
of pictures of the shuttle's fiery climb.
While foreground street lights flickered on and a clear evening
sky grew dark, the shuttle's path just grazed the bright lunar disk.
On this mission, STS-98, Atlantis carried the U.S.
Destiny laboratory
module to be added to the expanding orbital outpost.
Atlantis
is currently scheduled to return to the space station next month.
