If Atlantis lands after July 20, will the landing time be shifted towards day or night time ? Currently, scheduled landing time is 7 a.m. EDT on July 20.
I personally, hate to see her landing in darkness at night!
If I'm not mistaken, landing time would get earlier every day.

There would be, however, a certain metaphorical sense to it.

It is a little more complicated. A one day slip can result in the first landing attempt to be 17 orbits later. So a one day slip could result in a landing 30 to 40 minutes later. Over a period of several days the landing like the launch window is about 24 minutes earlier each day.

Hmmm ... Douglas MacArthur vs. Dylan Thomas.

Hmmm, looks super on my PC, so wonder if you might have to reload?

Tried, twice. All the edges are jagged.
Matters not, I know how awesome Atlantis looks

Mooooooore panos from the NASATech people

Can't believe I'm saying this, but not their best work. Terrible resolution. Maybe a problem with the camera settings or the upload?
Great views though!
I take it you let it load colour? Looks ok to me, But zooming in is pretty useless as it's pixel heaven.
I've never seen jagged edges on any of their previous images - they were sharp as a tack. I can see a jagged edge on the ET just from zoomed all the way out.
Again, the views are awesome, and after all, she's more more important. I'll just convince myself it was done with a 4MP camera and be happy with what I see

Robert I think it is just your machine, as even when I zoom in I do not see jagged edges. Maybe try a different browser?

I see what he's talking about - particularly the edge of the ET against the sky. Moreover, the black backpack sitting right next to the camera is awfully grainy. These definitely suffer in comparison to say, lsullivan's pics.

Monday...final look at Raffaello MPLM before it's sealed for flight. About 4000 lbs food & clothes...~6000 lbs science and ISS spares.
So, MPLM hatch closure is this week. The canister goes out to the pad on the evening of Thursday 16th June.

Thought this worth a quick mention:
Final shuttle flight from 39A is using MLP3, which in a former life was ML1.
ML1 was using for the first ever flight from 39A, Apollo 4, followed by the historic Apollo 8 and 11 missions.
So its a nice think to note that we have come completely full circle as we head into a pause in ops from LC39
