Comments: NASA's White Sands Space Harbor re-directed the runway landing lights toward the heavens to simulate the New York Twin Towers in a tribute to the people that lost their lives on 9/11. The 3.2 billion candle-power towers of light rose to the northwest of White Sands Star Party IV illuminating low clouds below the Big Dipper.© Dave Dockery 2002
