Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC, http://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/home/index.html), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, http://www.nasa.gov), Government of the United States of America. Additional information from NASA: 'Space shuttle external tank ET-118, which flew on the STS-115 mission in September 2006, was photographed by astronauts aboard the shuttle about 21 minutes after lift off. The photo was taken with a hand-held camera when the tank was about 75 miles above Earth, traveling at slightly more than 17,000 mph. The camera's long focal length telescopic lens tends to compress distances, making the tank appear to be at a lower altitude than it actually is. The space shuttle external tank is the only component of the space shuttle that is not reused. Approximately 8.5 minutes into a shuttle flight, the tank separates from the orbiter. The tank falls in a preplanned trajectory. The majority of it disintegrates in the atmosphere and the rest falls into the ocean.'

Explanation from NASA: "An STS-122 crewmember recorded the scene with a digital still camera. The fan-shaped bright area is the result of ET venting after orbiter separation. What happens in this nominal occurence is that the residual cryogenics in the tank heat up to some extent and the pressure increases, popping the relief valve. The residual LOX and LH2 spray out of the tank and are quite noticeable with the light reflection."

Additional information from NASA: "Space shuttle external tank ET-118, which flew on the STS-115 mission in September 2006, was photographed by astronauts aboard the shuttle about 21 minutes after lift off. The photo was taken with a hand-held camera when the tank was about 75 miles above Earth, traveling at slightly more than 17,000 mph. The camera's long focal length telescopic lens tends to compress distances, making the tank appear to be at a lower altitude than it actually is. The space shuttle external tank is the only component of the space shuttle that is not reused. Approximately 8.5 minutes into a shuttle flight, the tank separates from the orbiter. The tank falls in a preplanned trajectory. The majority of it disintegrates in the atmosphere and the rest falls into the ocean."

Explanation from NASA: "An STS-122 crewmember recorded the scene with a digital still camera. The fan-shaped bright area is the result of ET venting after orbiter separation. What happens in this nominal occurence is that the residual cryogenics in the tank heat up to some extent and the pressure increases, popping the relief valve. The residual LOX and LH2 spray out of the tank and are quite noticeable with the light reflection."
