Default ASTRO: Shuttle Plume

APOD's picture of the day
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070612.html
shows a very odd plume from the last launch.

Another version is at:

A friend of mine sent me this photo of the plume. But being a
planetarium director he had to get some astronomy in it. He waited
until the plume drifted over by Venus before taking his shot of the
plume. It's hand held so a bit shaky.

Photo by Jack Dunn, Director of the Mueller Planetarium
(http://www.spacelaser.com/)at the University of Nebraska. I have no
other details.
