Science Fiction, for Real

You know how in sci-fi movies they have those scenes where a spacecraft docks with a space station? It also happens in real-life:

The above image is one of a whole set of photos showing Space Shuttle Endeavour docked to the International Space Station, released today by NASA (high-res versions available at the link). They were taken by yet another spacecraft, a Russian Soyuz mission that had just left the ISS.

For more on the images, see Alan Boyle’s latest entry at Cosmic Log.
