A friend sent this, which I pass on as being beautiful and of interest.
The Space Station happened to be passing by when the Shuttle launched in September. Here’s something that you don’t see every day. The launch, as seen from the International Space Station.
First, the long view
Then, a little closer view
Is that cool, or what?

These pictures look too low to be from the ISS. Perhaps these are camera chase planes following the shuttle’s ascent? See this link for a possible solution, one of NASA’s chase planes
