A photographer in Florida has taken extraordinary photos of space shuttle 
Atlantis and the Hubble Space Telescope passing together in front of the 
sun. The shuttle's silhouette outlined by solar fire is a must-see.  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.  Visit http://spaceweather.com to 
see the pictures and to follow the progress of the STS-125 servicing 
mission.
