Explanation:
What's that in the background?
Two famous New York City icons stand tall in the
above photo
taken last week.
On the left looms the
Statue of Liberty,
a universal symbol of freedom, while on the right rises the
Empire State Building,
now the second
largest building in the city.
What's unique about this once-in-a-lifetime photograph, though, is the third icon
that appears to Lady Liberty's
left.
High in the air and far in the background
flies the space shuttle Enterprise --
perched atop a 747 jet --
on the way to its new home.
New Yorkers and visitors to the
Big Apple can visit the
test space shuttle
at the
Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on
the West Side of Manhattan starting July 19.
