| STS109-729-072 (9 March 2002) --- Looking westward, one of
the STS-109 crew members photographed the newly serviced and upgraded Hubble
Space Telescope (HST) near the earth's limb to the upper right of the center
of this 70mm image. The Space Shuttle Columbia was located over the Atlantic
Ocean southwest of the Cape Verde Islands when this image was acquired.
Low to mid-altitude clouds are visible across the image. Some thunderstorms
can be seen near the left center of the image as the sun reflects off the
higher cloud tops. |
