At 12 minutes and 19 seconds into the NASA video Space Shuttle Documentary (Narrated by William Shatner), there’s a really neat video of a space shuttle lighting up the clouds from underneath and then disappearing into them.

What mission is this from? Is there a longer, higher-quality version of the source video available online from NASA?

    $\begingroup$ your embedded imgur mp4 didn't show up correctly (looked like a broken link) so I've made the url explicit and then made your YouTube link visible. $\endgroup$

That's STS-134, the final mission of Endeavour.

There is a higher quality video here but sadly it cuts away just as the vehicle enters the cloud deck.

Lots of cool ascent video here from that mission but a quick skim didn't show the cloud deck penetration.

There's a cool shot from the Shuttle Training Aircraft as the stack emerges from the top of the cloud deck.
