A starry sky and the lights of cities streak past space shuttle Endeavour and the International Space Station in this nighttime view. The complex was moving at five miles per second, so a long exposure time streaked the lights on the ground below. After undocking from the space station on May 30, Endeavour concluded its final mission in space with touchdown at Kennedy Space Center in the wee hours of June 1. [NASA]
