The guy that takes those pictures had taken one of the ISS a while back, there are more pics on his site http://www.astrosurf.com/legault/iss...s_transit.html

This recent launch to fix hubble is costing 1.4 billion dollars.

A camera aboard space shuttle Atlantis captured this image as the shuttle soared over the Earth. Saudi Arabia is in the foreground and Israel and Jordan can be seen near the top edge of the frame.
