The colored band highlights distinct layers of Earth’s atmosphere, including the troposphere (orange) and stratosphere (white)This photo was taken during the STS-130 mission in February 2010
Endeavour was built to replace the Challenger, and was in service between 1992 and 2011.

Cool photo i just recently been made aware of a particular website that tracks the space station and Satellites because I wanted to see the path of that one satellite that crashed back to earth.
