This is a rare picture of the first Space Shuttle, Enterprise, lifted into a tower for dynamic tests. Enterprise was the prototype Space Shuttle. Enterprise was built without real engines or a heat shield, so it wasn't able to launch into space. There were actually plans to upgrade Space Shuttle Enterprise to a fully functional spacecraft but unfortunatly they weren't realized because of cost-issues.

Can you see shooting starts from space? Turns out, yes! The first meteor shower of the decade and we were lucky enough to catch it from the @Space_Station along with the northern lights. This is a composite image of a few of the #quadrantids as they blazed into the atmosphere.
