(PhysOrg.com) -- The docked space shuttle Discovery and the Canadian-built Dextre, also known as the Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator, are featured in this photograph taken by the STS-133 crew aboard the station.
The blackness of space and Earth's horizon provide the backdrop for the scene.
Space shuttle Discovery arrived at the International Space Station on Saturday, making its final visit before being parked at a museum.
