Summary[edit]
DescriptionAtlantis launch plume edit.jpg |
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 stretch towards the moon, which is nearly full and thus almost exactly opposite the sun in the sky.
The Earth's shadow is also visible, as a dark band of sky below the Moon. 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.
Français : Lancement de la navette Atlantis au coucher du soleil (7 février 2001, STS-98). Le soleil s'est déjà couché (juste derrière la caméra), de sorte que seule la partie supérieure du panache est à la lueur du soleil. Il crée une ombre à travers l'atmosphère terrestre qui semble s'étendre vers la lune, qui est presque pleine et presque exactement opposée au soleil dans le ciel. L'ombre de la Terre est également visible, comme une bande sombre du ciel sous la lune |

The sun is behind the camera, and the shadow of the plume is cast across the vault of the sky, intersecting the rising full moon. The top portion of the plume is bright because it is illuminated dir |
