That is beautiful!
I saw these ISS photos a while ago, a volcano from above. Awesome!

Just... wow. I have to keep reminding myself that this is not 'photoshop'd', it actually happened :)

It does look like a somewhat ethereal USS Enterprise, doesn't it.

Actually, it fits the shape of the Enterprise-E remarkably well!
