| Description |
English: Shuttle Launch at Sunset (Atlantis, February 7th, 2001, STS-98). The sun has set just behind the camera, so only the upper part of the plume is in the glare of the sun. It casts a shadow through the Earth's atmosphere that seems to strech towards the moon, which is nearly full and thus almost exactly opposite the sun in the sky.
Deutsch: Start des Space Shuttles Atlantis am 7. Februar 2001 zur Mission STS-98 bei Sonnenuntergang. Die Sonne ist eben hinter der Kamera untergegangen, so dass nur der obere Teil der Rauchsäule vom Sonnenlicht erstrahlt. Dieser Teil wirft einen Schatten durch die Erdatmosphäre, der sich bis zum Mond zu erstrecken scheint. Der Mond ist beinahe voll und daher am Himmel fast genau gegenüber der Sonne.
