Approximately one minute thirty seconds after launch the space shuttle SRBs (solid rocket boosters) are separated from the external fuel tank and fall back to the ocean to be recovered and reused. The photo above has been enlarged and enhanced from this photo to show the back-end of Endeavour, the two SRBs falling away from the external fuel tank, and the exhaust trail that extends backwards along the flight path.
