Our Daisy Girl Scout meeting ended at 4:30 and at 4:50 the Space Shuttle Discovery lifted off from Kennedy Space Center. The girls were very excited to see it peek through the clouds. Only 2 more missions left. Growing up in Central Florida, these sightings have been a staple in my childhood. Glad my kids get to see them before they're gone.
(Double click the photo to enlarge it. The shuttle trail is the horizontal white puff of smoke between the two clouds about a quarter from the top of the photo. I was using an extender that is supposed to keep the sun off the lens, hence the round porthole effect.)
How cool! I wish my Girl Scouts could experience something like that. And I love the porthole effect - it seems perfect for a shuttle launch!
