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...

Be aware, our neighbors to the North refer to that as the Canadian made shuttle arm. All the time. They act as though the shuttle is just there to get their robot arm in space.
