Space shuttle Endeavour and its seven astronauts safely returned to Earth on Sunday, taking a detour to sunny California after storms hit the main landing strip in Florida.

Endeavour touched down at 4:25 p.m. EST, wrapping up a 16-day trip that left the international space station freshly remodeled and capable of housing bigger crews.

The space shuttle Endeavour was commanded by a northeast Philly native, Christopher Ferguson.
