The small dots of light in a row at the bottom of the photo are streetlights illuminating the Stuart Causeway, a set of bridges which crosses the Indian River Lagoon.

The shuttle arcs over the Atlantic and an amazing vapor trail is left for skywatchers.

Great shots! I had to work or I would have been out watching the sky for that short streak across the night sky! Thanks for the pics!
Fantastic shots...we were just nearing home last night & I jumped into the back seat of the car to try to capture this, but I was too late. Very nice photos!!
