another zit on the arse of the universe from warrenelliscom

another zit on the arse of the universe from warrenelliscom: these are cool, but I think they’re from a U2 and not the ISS? I might be wrong, but the altitude doesn’t seem high enough. Compare.

  1. Regarding http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=3183, I believe this shot is a better compare. I’m a bit skeptical about the ISS being the shot, and U2 makes lot more sense.

  2. ISS was not even in the area at the time of launch. From the official STS-121 status report:

    —-
    As Atlantis launched, the space station was 220 miles above the northern Atlantic Ocean, between Greenland and Iceland. Aboard the outpost are Expedition 13 Commander Pavel Vinogradov, a Russian cosmonaut; Flight Engineer and NASA Science Officer Jeff Williams; and Flight Engineer Thomas Reiter of the European Space Agency. They watched the launch via a live television transmission from Houston. Atlantis is set to dock to the complex at about 5:46 a.m. CDT Sept. 11.
