From the roof of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, media photographers capture the launch of space shuttle Discovery as it soars from its seaside launch pad. Liftoff was on time at 11:38:19 a.m. EDT. Discovery carries the Italian-built U.S. Node 2, called Harmony. During the 14-day STS-120 mission, the crew will install Harmony and move the P6 solar arrays to their permanent position and deploy them. Discovery is expected to complete its mission and return home at 4:47 a.m. EST on Nov. 6.
Building 4200 of Marshall’s administrative complex is prepared for demolition in the fall of 2022. Building 4200 was Marshall’s administrative headquarters from 1963 until 2020. The project will make way for a newer, more energy-efficient facilities, providing worksites for new generations of engineers, scientists, and support teams.

This panoramic view of the partial solar eclipse was taken from the roof of the aircraft hangar at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The eclipse in Hampton was about 85 percent of totality.
The Tibetan Plateau and a portion of the Himalayan Mountain chain are captured in this stereo image acptured by NASA Terra satellite May 14, 2000 Terra orbit 2153.
This image from NASA Mars Odyssey shows part of the eastern flank of Ascraeus Mons, one of the large Tharsis Volcanoes. The circular pits all aligned in a row mark the collapse of the roof of a lava tube.
This MOC image shows narrow channel on the upper east flank of the martian volcano, Hadriaca Patera. Located on a volcano, most likely this channel was formed by lava, perhaps as a lava tube at which the thin roof later collapsed
