Endeavour in the Moon
On the 10th anniversary of the constructing of the International Space Station, the space shuttle "Endeavour" would embark on the 27th launch to the International Space Station. What was truly remarkable (and beautiful) about this spectacle was the launch coinciding with the moon in perigee. The moon is in perigee when it is closest to the Earth in it elliptical orbit, this gives us the chance to see the the largest full moon possible. Unfortunately, there will not be another one till 14th November 2016, but by then the world will have already ended in 2012!
