  Title: A distant view of STS-57 Endeavour, OV-105, as it lifts off from KSC LC Pad
  Description:
  In this distant view, STS-57 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, lifts off 
  from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) Pad 39B and covers the 
  surrounding area in a huge exhaust cloud.  Liftoff occurred at 9:07:22 am 
  (Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)).  OV-105 has cleared the launch tower and
  soars  into the morning sky with KSC LC Pad 39A, the Sound Supression Water
  System  elevated tank, and a nearby waterway visible in the foreground. 
  The glow of  the solid rocket booster (SRB) and space shuttle main engine
  (SSME) firings  is reflected in the waterway. Several birds in the water
  observe the launch.
