Backdropped by the blackness of space and the thin line of Earth's atmosphere, the International Space Station is seen from Space Shuttle Endeavour as the two spacecraft begin their relative separation. Earlier the STS-127 and Expedition 20 crews concluded 11 days of cooperative work onboard the shuttle and station. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 12:26 p.m. (CDT) on July 28, 2009.
