First Family encounters the final frontier

Astronaut Janet Kavandi leads President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, beneath the shuttle Atlantis' underbelly during an April 29 tour of an Orbiter Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Obamas visited the space center in hopes of seeing the shuttle Endeavour's final launch, but liftoff was delayed due to a technical glitch. Atlantis' launch, scheduled in July, will close out the 30-year space shuttle program.

Into the clouds

Photographers track the space shuttle Endeavour's ascent into the clouds over Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 16. Endeavour's 16-day mission brought a $2 billion cosmic ray detector and tons of additional supplies to the International Space Station.

Hanging on

NASA astronaut Greg Chamitoff holds a handrail during the fourth spacewalk conducted by the shuttle Endeavour's crew at the International Space Station. During the seven-hour, 24-minute spacewalk on May 27, Chamitoff and astronaut Michael Fincke (visible in the reflections of Chamitoff's helmet visor) moved a 50-foot-long inspection boom to the station, officially completing U.S. station assembly.

The East Coast at night

As metropolitan areas expand in both physical area and population, they typically aggregate to form linked entities known as conurbations. The term "megalopolis" has also been used. This picture of the U.S. East Coast shows a segment of the Atlantic Seaboard Conurbation stretching from New York at far right to Norfolk, Va., at lower left. The picture was taken from the International Space Station on April 6 and released by NASA on May 23.

Ablaze with X-rays

This image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, released May 24, shows the Carina Nebula, a star-forming region 7,500 light-years away in the Sagittarius-Carina arm of the Milky Way. Chandra has detected more than 14,000 stars in this region, shrouded in a diffuse X-ray glow. The observations provide strong evidence that massive stars have already self-destructed in this nearby supernova factory.

Easy does it!

Ground personnel help NASA astronaut Catherine "Cady" Coleman get into a chair shortly after the May 24 landing of a Russian Soyuz transport in Kazakhstan. The Soyuz brought Coleman, Russian cosmonaut Dmitry Kondratyev and Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli back to Earth from the International Space Station.Coleman spent six months in the station's zero-G environment and thus needed some time to readjust to Earth's gravity.
