COSMIC MESSAGE

On April 5, 2010, the Space Shuttle Discovery launched on mission STS-131 to the International Space Station. Its engine plumes twisted and drifted through the dawn sky, reflecting the reddened light of the rising Sun. This image from Kennedy Space Center shows the colorful clouds above rockets in the foreground.
