Backdropped by Earth’s horizon and the blackness of space, the International Space Station appears small as it moves away from space shuttle Endeavour. Earlier, the STS-118 and Expedition 15 crews concluded nearly nine days of cooperative work aboard the shuttle and station. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 6:56 a.m. (CDT) on Aug. 19, 2007. The lower portion of Italy is visible at left.
