Inspiring picture 3

Just this week I went to the movies to check the latest incarnation of Cap. Kirk, Mr. Spock et al. It really was a great movie… I was expecting less, I have to admit. But the movie was not bad at all…

With all that “space and beyond” thing in my mind, yesterday I was surprised with a greatly inspiring picture taken from Hubble Florida, before STS-125 reach Hubble (thanks Florian Weimer for the heads-up):

How inspiring can that be?

You can find the original here, along with the explanation of how and when it was taken.

    The picture hasn’t got to do much with Hubble, though…

    Have you seen the picture that shows both a shuttle and the ISS silhouetted against the sun?
