Moon Framed

Earth and its Moon are nicely framed in this image taken from the aft windows of the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1998. Discovery - on mission STS-95 - was flying over the Atlantic Ocean at the time this image was taken. The STS-95 mission also marked the return of pioneering Mercury astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn to space.
