Great images. I'd love to see a larger version of the Atlantis processing [utah.edu] image. The black mark below the tail almost looks like damage, though comparing that to the first image it appears to be symmetrical, so that's unlikely. In general though the white surface looks dirty -- from this close-up [nasa.gov] what appears to be "dirt" if you squint at it looks to be identification markings when you zoom in. I assume the same is true of the "dirty" side.

Also, is it just me or does this image [utah.edu] look a lot like a giant N [google.com]
