What wonderful shots!

Night photography like this isn't easy. That first image is composed beautifully. It's not like the photographer could see where the shuttle was and then compose the picture. A long exposure like this has to be set up in advance, the shutter opened, and then just cross you fingers and hope you got the exposure right and pointed the camera in the right spot. Beautiful.
