   On the mostly clear Saturday morning of 21 May 2011, this shot shows almost the whole of The Netherlands apart from part of South Limburg 🇳🇱

   Space shuttle Endeavour at top left on its final ever mission, STS-134.

   Taken from the ISS with a Nikon D3S by an astronaut of Expedition 27 or STS-134, perhaps ESA's Paolo Nespoli or Roberto Vittori, as ESTEC is in there in Noordwijk, on the Dutch coast halfway between the Hook of Holland & IJmuiden.
