Shuttle Launch as seen from International Space Station

Update: this actually was not taken from the ISS. It was taken by a WB-57 chase plane.

See: http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/launch/wb57_chasejets where it carries a specially configured camera

Thanks to Bubblehead for correcting that mistake.

An incredible photo! I'm posting it, too. I think you might want to correct the title of your post, though -- there's no way that it's from the ISS; it's way too low, and was taken from a platform that's also in the atmosphere, probably a chase plane.
