[Chaos-l] A Cool Picture

[walter fowler]

Why is the shuttle glow so bright at the highest altitude and it fades as it
descends (presumably heating up on the way down)?  Is it because
1. it's going from sunlight into the Earth's shadow
2. it's just brighter when it's closer to the ISS
3. they turn all the lights off when they start their descent
4. someone used Photoshop to  "get the best results."
Other thoughts?    Walter
