Hubble Telescope in Orbit

Backdropped by the horizon of the blue and white Earth and the blackness of space, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) floats gracefully after the release from the Space Shuttle Columbia's robot arm at the close of a successful servicing mission. The event marked the fifth time in history that a Space Shuttle released the great observatory. Those occasions were the initial release in 1990 and four subsequent servicing missions including STS-109 (the mission that took this picture).
