Interesting Photo of the Day: Space Shuttle Transport Over LA

Interesting Photos

If you’re mesmerized by space travel and the exploration of space, you’re in for a treat with this photo:

“A Space Shuttle Over Los Angeles ” by Stephen Confer. (Via NASA. Click image to see full size.)

On September 6, 2012, Stephen Confer captured this image of the Space Shuttle Endeavour riding piggyback on a 747, accompanied by two other jets which look like bodyguards.

Sadly, this was probably the last flight the shuttle will see, because it’s now retired and lives at the California Science Center.
