APOD 1.1- The Endeavor into the night....AND Mr.Percival.

While reading the information on the snapshot, the Endeavor into the night, an interesting fact I found was that when this picture was taken it was the 10th anniversary of the official start of construction of the Space Station. I did not know very much on the Endeavor space shuttle before I read this article but know I know that there were seven astronauts aboard this awesome shuttle. Also while looking further into details of the Endeavor I found out about the perigee moon that is seen in the picture of the article. A perigee moon is when the moon will reach it's full phase within its closest point in its elliptical orbit. Below is an extremely fascinating image of the space shuttle, Endeavor, that was taken from an interesting angle right below after it's takeoff.
