Endeavor Shuttle Launch   Shuttle viewing is good all along the East Coast
 
 
 
Endeavor Shuttle Launch   With the sun quickly setting, the Endeavor lifted off at about 6:10 pm
 
    
Endeavor Shuttle Launch   Within seconds, the Endeavor cleared the clouds, a low, loud beating sound was heard and felt from the accelerating booster rockets
 
    
Endeavor Shuttle Launch   The setting sun created a rainbow of colours on the vapour trail that was even better than the photo could capture
 
 
 
Endeavor Shuttle Launch   The dropping of the white booster rockets could be plainly seen withour visual aid with the help of the sun reflection. The shuttle is more than 40 miles high at this time.
 
    
Endeavor Shuttle Launch The lingering vapour trail displayed its colours for some time after the shuttle was well out of sight
