SpaceWeather.com added, “Shortly after the photos were taken, the shuttle's robotic arm reached out, grappled Hubble, and drew the great telescope into the shuttle's cargo bay, where it is now being serviced by NASA astronauts.”

More information about the STS-125 mission is found on the NASA Web site “Space Shuttle” and the iTWire articles “Follow STS-125 crew as they service Hubble” and “Hubble repair mission to be on IMAX 3D.”

To see when space shuttle Atlantis and the Hubble Space Telescope flies over your local night sky in North America, check out the SpaceWeather.com Web site Satellite Flybys.

For your local sky in other parts of the world, please go to Global Flybys.

Both Web sites by SpaceWeather.com will show other satellites orbiting overhead, including the International Space Station.

The site states, "There are hundreds of satellites in Earth orbit; we cut through the confusion by narrowing the list to a half-dozen or so of the most interesting. At the moment we are monitoring spy satellites Lacrosse 3 and NOSS 2-1, the International Space Station, the ISS Toolbag, and the Hubble Space Telescope."
