astronomicalconsiderations: Incredibly detailed picture of the final launch of the Endeavour space schuttle. Astronomy Picture of the Day 5/18. I totally missed Endeavour’s launch. I tried to keep track, but they had to keep postponing. Hey, as a consolation, there are many great pics! And below is that amazing iphone pic Stefanie Gordon took aboard a plane. Endeavour launched without a hitch and has successfully docked at the ISS!   High-res

Our nearest neighbor, the Moon, will certainly be the first stopping place for the first spacemen. What will they find there? Well, no atmosphere like ours, and because of this, will have to wear space suits to breathe. Looking about they will see only cold, bare mountains and craters. It is very unlikely that any form of life will be found. The only thing they will find out is what the other side of the moon looks like, for we only ever see one face.
