Shuttle Discovery and ISS Final Flyover in Air & Space Magazine

The space shuttle Discovery and the international space station emerge from the Pacific mist at 19:25 PST and streak across the Monterey peninsula nearing the end of Discovery's final mission.

Updated: Air & Space Magazine is carrying our image of the the final flight of the ISS and Discovery.

We got a little cooperation from the weather for a beautiful night and were able to capture the international space station (ISS) and space shuttle Discovery (STS-133) orbiting together on what was Discovery’s  final flyover over Pacific Grove and the Monterey peninsula.

This was image was captured in Pacific Grove on the Monterey peninsula. The moon is on the left and the orange light on the right is the city glow of Santa Cruz, 25 miles across the Monterey peninsula.
