Astronomy contributors Imelda Joson and Edwin Aguirre were fortunate enough to be down at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the launch of the now fabled last space shuttle mission, STS-135, this past month.
Atlantis lifted off July 8, 2011, and returned to Earth July 21, just 13 days ago. Imelda and Edwin shot a flurry of outstanding photos of the launch, and I wanted to share a few of them with you here.
Enjoy!
