NASA released the first ever pictures of the Space Shuttle docked at the International Space Station. The small picture to the left does not do it justice. You have to click on it to pop up the full resolution picture. The clarity is amazing.
The pictures were taken by Expedition 27 crew member Paolo Nespoli from the Soyuz TMA-20 following its undocking on May 23, 2011.
Here is an example of the clarity from the high resolution image. I cut out the part of the full resolution image that shows just the nose of the Space Shuttle.
