A black and white photograph of a space shuttle taking off from a launch pad. The shuttle is in the center of the image with its nose pointing upwards and its engines roaring as it ascends into the sky. The launch pad is visible in the background with a tall tower on the right side and a large plume of smoke and fire trailing behind it. The sky is dark and cloudy indicating that the photo was taken at night. The image appears to be taken from a low angle looking up at the shuttle as it takes off.
