A one of a kind photo op.
From MSNBC...
In an unprecedented cosmic photo shoot Monday, a departing spaceship snapped close-up glamour pictures of the space shuttle Endeavour attached to the International Space Station.
Minutes earlier, the Russian capsule had backed away from the space station, to carry three station residents back to Earth after a five-month stay.
A Soyuz has never before headed for home while a shuttle was parked at the space station. The shuttle program is ending, and Endeavour is making the next-to-last flight, so it won't happen again.
Color photos to come sometime on Thursday.
