Shuttle & Station Crews Capture Stunning Images

The Endeavour astronauts and colleagues aboard the International Space Station have sent back some very nice photographs that in turn are being distribution through the Associated Press wired service. We're posting them here for your enjoyment. Click to enlarge the images, and a second click might get you an even bigger, more detailed view.

The joint crew news conference is coming up at 9:39 p.m.

A ribbon-cutting "grand-opening" ceremony for the U.S. Tranquility Module and the Italian Cupola observation deck is scheduled for 11:39 a.m., and a farewell ceremony is slated for 2:34 a.m.
