Astronauts aboard space shuttle Atlantis reached out with a 50-foot boom arm and grabbed the Hubble Space Telescope Wednesday afternoon, slowly dragging it into the shuttle's open cargo bay...

...Robot arm operator Megan McArthur seized the school bus-sized telescope as the two spacecraft sailed together 350 miles above Australia.


Phew! That could have ended badly...
