T+plus 8 minutes, 55 seconds. The emptied external tank has been jettisoned from the belly of space shuttle Atlantis. The tank will fall back into the atmosphere where it will burn up harmlessly.

They've had it for the last few flights ... it's on the ET, so it would be interesting to watch a clip as the ET came back down.
