What’s that rising from the clouds? The space shuttle. Sometimes, if you looked out the window of an airplane at just the right place and time, you could have seen something very unusual — a space shuttle launching to orbit. Images of the rising shuttle and its plume became widely circulated over the web shortly after Endeavour’s final launch in 2011 May. The above image was taken from a shuttle training aircraft by NASA and is not copyrighted. Taken well above the clouds, the image can be matched with similar images of the same shuttle plume taken below the clouds. Hot glowing gasses expelled by the engines are visible near the rising shuttle, as well as a long smoke plume. A shadow of the plume appears on the cloud deck, indicating the direction of the Sun. The US Space Shuttle program concluded in 2011, and Endeavour can now be visited at the California Science Center.

#從雲端升起的奇觀 🚀☁️
喺某些特定時候，如果你從飛機窗戶往外望，可能會睇到一個非常不尋常嘅畫面 — 一架太空梭正喺發射升空。2011年5月，隨著「Endeavour」最後一次發射，太空梭升空嘅影像喺網絡上廣為流傳。上面嘅圖片係由NASA嘅太空梭訓練飛機拍攝，並且並不受版權保護。這幅圖片拍攝自雲層之上，可以同樣配合喺雲層之下拍攝到的同一架太空梭氣流圖像。
從引擎排出的熱氣藍的火焰可見於正上方，另一邊則有長長的煙霧雲霧。煙霧的影子映照在雲層上，清晰顯示出太陽方向。美國太空梭計劃於2011年結束，而「Endeavour」現時可以喺加州科學館參觀。
