- Support Very fine image. I'm sort of confused, I always thought the Shuttle came up from beneath the ISS. Huh! – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 09:59, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ISS_and_Endeavour_seen_from_the_Soyuz_TMA-20_spacecraft_29.jpg for an image of the shuttle docked to the station. Pine (GreenPine) t 20:24, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- Amazing. I remember watching the very first R-bar pitch maneuver way back when on my way old computer, and the Earth appeared to be directly below (though it filled the whole frame, so I really can't determine the angle of the camera), so I think this is where I got the idea in my head. Thanks for the image. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 08:06, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Question Is the above linked picture a potential FP nom btw? I think it's fantastic and seems a good size, but I wouldn't be confident in nomming myself - still consider myself a bit of a newb in relation to wiki editing... gazhiley.co.uk 13:39, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- I think some of the other photos in that series have better compositions, they're new and actually the first external photos of a Space Shuttle docked at the ISS. See Commons:Category:Soyuz_TMA-20 for the others. Some of them are certainly FP-quality. --KFP (contact | edits) 06:57, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- There are some looooooooovely photographs there... Thank you for the link... gazhiley 14:11, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

- Comment The solar panels which run parallel to the Earth's surface and several of the cloud tops are blown... Is there no way to get a version with a better processing/better exposure? - Zephyris Talk 15:59, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hmm, unless I'm mistaken those brightest bits are radiators (which are considerably more reflective than the solar panels). Also, I suppose the sunlight gets pretty intense up there with no atmosphere to attenuate it. --KFP (contact | edits) 17:04, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support beautiful image. Would have been even better if the camera angle had allowed the view of the station to be exactly centered with top of the curve of Earth. Pine (GreenPine) t 20:18, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
