Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Endeavor left the International Space Station on Sunday. Created by linking the American-built Unity and the Russian power module Zarya, it will eventually house astronauts researching everything from cell division to anti-matter. When completed, it will weigh more than a million pounds and cover nearly an acre. It will be the largest spacecraft ever to orbit the Earth and will be visible as one of the brightest objects in the night sky.
