Here we see the Space Shuttle Atlantis on pad 39-A one day before the launch of the Hubble Servicing Mission 4. It's just after sunset and we see the shuttle in the glow of twilight. The large water tank to the right of the launch pad is part of the sound suppression water system. For more info on Launch Complex 39, see http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/technology/sts-newsref/sts-lc39.html.
