Spacecraft Docking with the International Space Station

The title sounds a bit like the name of a selfie, doesn't it? Anyway...

How do you think this picture was taken? Usually, spacecraft are photographed from the International Space Station. The International Space Station is photographed from a spacecraft. But how can you explain the two being in the same frame?

The answer is simple. In May 2011, during the Endeavour spacecraft's final voyage to the International Space Station, a resupply ship departed the station with the astronaut and took this stunning photo, along with a series of other photos. The resupply ship was Russia's Soyuz TMA_20, which later landed in Kazakhstan.
