I'm suprised no one has picked up on this...
I'll give a hint, the error is in the caption for the first picture.

| How on earth would anyone not already familiar with the subject be able to tell? My guess is it's either not a satellite photo (maybe it's just aerial) or maybe the date is wrong. |

NeantHumain, Alex, your both on the right track...
But WHY is the date incorrect?

Just a guess but was there no shuttle in orbit that year (the challenger crashed the year before) ? Like I said its just a guess so don't be too hard on me

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!
You win todays grand prize.

That picture couldn't have been taken in 1987 becasue the all space shuttle missions from February 1986 to August 1988, were canceled because of the challenger explosion.
Job well done Melvis!

Well the picture could have been taken in that year, it just wasn't taken from a space shuttle. Could it have been taken from a satellite, perhaps?

My thought is that who ever typed in the date meant to say 1997, and not 1987.
The picture looks like a shuttle photo, but might be a satellite photo.
I searched the JSC digital image archive and could find no refrence to it. either thru a text reference, or ID search.
Unless our government was flying space shuttle missions in secret...
