Description: Backdropped by the blackness of space and the thin line of Earth's atmosphere, the International Space Station is seen from Space Shuttle Discovery as the two spacecraft begin their relative separation. Earlier the STS-119 and Expedition 18 crews concluded 9 days, 20 hours and 10 minutes of cooperative work on-board the shuttle and station. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 14:53 CDT on 25 March 2009.
