Summary[edit]
DescriptionShuttlePlumeAtSunset.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 etwa 11 Minuten nach Sonnenuntergang. Die Sonne ist eben hinter der Kamera untergegangen und steht etwa 3° unter dem Horizont, so dass nur der obere Teil der Rauchsäule vom Sonnenlicht angeschienen wird. Dieser Teil wirft einen Schatten durch die Erdatmosphäre, der sich scheinbar in Richtung Mond erstreckt. Es ist etwa 13 Stunden vor Vollmond, der Mond steht mit einem Mondwinkel von 173° von der Erde betrachtet fast genau gegenüber der Sonne. |
