Hubble Released 2009

The crew of STS-125 aboard the space shuttle Atlantis captured this image of the Hubble Space Telescope as the two spacecraft begin their relative separation on May 19, 2009, after having been linked together for the better part of a week.

 

During that week five spacewalks were performed to complete the final servicing mission for the orbital observatory.
