Hubble Space Telescope Release
The Space Shuttle Atlantis' remote manipulator system arm lifts the Hubble Space Telescope from the cargo bay of Space Shuttle Atlantis. At this point the telescope is moments away from being released to start it on its way back to observing the universe. This occurred on May 19, 2009, near the end of the STS-125 mission.
