Panoramas of special shuttle sight

For the final time in space shuttle program history, both launch pads at Kennedy Space Center are occupied. Endeavour was rolled to pad 39B before sunrise last Friday, April 17, taking its perch a mile-and-a-half north of pad 39A where Atlantis stands poised for the last mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope.

These panoramas shot Friday show Endeavour at dawn and the mid-afternoon spectacle of seeing double shuttles.
