Space shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis came nose to nose for the final time yesterday after switching places at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
It was a final farewell as Endeavour will be moved to California Science Center in October as a permanent exhibit and Atlantis will be kept at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Florida.
All of the shuttles which have left Earth are due to become museum pieces due to the closure of Nasa's shuttle program.
