Space shuttle Endeavour final mission

There are currently some absolutely incredible photos of space shuttle Endeavour’s final mision which touched down in Florida on June 1st over on The Atlantic’s website including the spectacular self portrait pictured above.

Generally speaking I find some of the most compelling photographs to be of the places I have never been as well as getting to seeing something a little bit out of the ordinary,  photographs taken from space must surely be the ultimate examples of this.

Here is a small selection of images from the mission.
