Explanation:
On February 21st, the Space Shuttle Endeavour and the International
Space Station (ISS) flew through the sky near
dawn over Whitby, Ontario, Canada.
Along with star trails, both were captured in this single time exposure.
Glinting in sunlight 350 kilometers above the Earth,
Endeavour slightly
preceeded the ISS arcing over
the horizon.
But the brighter trail and the brighter flare
belongs to the space station just visited
by Endeavour.
Near the completion of the STS-130 mission,
hours later Endeavour made a
night landing
at Kennedy Space Center.
