STS073-E-5098 (30 October 1995) --- Long Island, New York stretches across the scene. The New York City metropolitan complex is at the left; Central Park can be seen as a dark rectangle between the Hudson and East Rivers. Sandy beaches of the Long Island barrier islands mark the boundary between Atlantic Ocean and quiet lagoons and marshes. The frame was exposed with the Electronic Still Camera (ESC). |

STS073-E-5135 (26 October 1995) --- Baseball caps from the two 1995 World Series representative franchises float near the cabin windows of the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Columbia, with the Earth in the background. The American League champion Cleveland Indians and their National League counterpart Atlanta Braves were engaged in a scheduled best-of-seven World Series throughout the first portion of the scheduled 16-day mission in space. Off-duty crewmembers came out of a rest period to set up the scene in tribute to the October classic. The crew will continue working in shifts around the clock on a diverse assortment of United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2) experiments located in the science module. Fields of study include fluid physics, materials science, biotechnology, combustion science and commercial space processing technologies. The frame was exposed with an Electronic Still Camera (ESC). |

STS073-E-5274 (3 November 1995) --- Colima was photographed with a color Electronic Still Camera (ESC) onboard the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Columbia. The volcano lies due south of Guadalajara and Lake Chapala. It is considered to be one of Mexico's most active and most dangerous volcanoes, lying not far from heavily populated areas. |
 |
STS073-E-5275 (3 November 1995) --- Resort City of Acapulco appears in this north-looking view, photographed from the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Columbia with the Electronic Still Camera (ESC). The airport lies on a narrow neck of land between the sea and a large coastal lagoon. This mission marks the first time NASA has released in mid-flight electronically-downlinked color images that feature geographic subject matter. |

STS073-E-5311 (3 November 1995) --- Astronaut Kathryn C. Thornton, STS-73 payload commander, works at the Drop Physics Module (DPM) on the portside of the science module supporting the U.S. Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2). Astronaut Kenneth D. Bowersox, mission commander, looks on. Five NASA astronauts and two payload specialists are in the last few days of a scheduled 16-day mission. This frame was exposed with the Electronic Still Camera (ESC). |
 |
STS073-E-5313 (3 November 1995) --- Typhoon Angela packed winds of 115 knots when this shot was taken with an Electronic Still Camera (ESC) from the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Columbia. It subsequently increased to speeds of 155 nautical miles, making it a super typhoon, heading due west toward Luzon in the Philippines. |
