Solar transit of Atlantis and the Hubble space telescope
(Image © Thierry Legault, 2009)
Transit of the space shuttle Atlantis taken from the vicinity of Kennedy Space Centre on May 24th 2009. This image was taken 24 hours after the launch of Atlantis, at a distance of 260km above earth. The thin silhouette indicates the cargobay doors were open on its approach to the Hubble space telescope.
I would like to thank Thierry Legault for his kind permission to use his image in this blog post.
