The Big Picture does it again with photography on one of my favorite topics: space. These are spectacular images of Earth from a much higher-than-normal altitude of 360 miles.
On Monday, May 11, after months of delays and preparation, NASA’s Space Shuttle Atlantis launched from the Kennedy Space Center on the final servicing mission to the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. The seven crew members left Florida for low Earth orbit at 2:01 pm, for a scheduled 11-day mission, including 5 days of Extra-vehicular activity (EVAs) to work on the Hubble. 31 photos total.
