On 11 September 2009 "The weather was perfect--no wind or dust, and very few clouds," says Hasan. "I found myself in the middle of a very quiet, tree-lined street and took the picture using my digital camera. It was a bright and beautiful display.""The sonic boom rumbled across the Los Angeles Basin about a minute after this was taken," he says. Discovery's landing at Edwards ended a two week, 5.7 million mile mission to the International Space Station--but the journey is not over. The shuttle will now be hoisted atop a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft for a massive cross-country piggyback ride to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Daytime sky watchers in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana and Florida will be able to see the flight if they know when to look. Stay tuned for information about sighting opportunities.
