Space Shuttle approaches Hubble space telescope with cargo bay open. (GOOD NEWS) Hi! Thanks so much for viewing my “Space Shuttle and Military Composite Pictures” album. Since so many people like the pictures in this album (it has got more than two million views), I have chosen 81 pictures and published them in a picture book. Please go to www.blurb.com and search for "Luming Marr" to preview this book. Thanks! The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was released into the earth orbit by the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990. It was named after the trailblazing astronomer Edwin P. Hubble (1889-1953), it is a large, space-based observatory which has revolutionized astronomy by providing unprecedented deep and clear views of the Universe, ranging from our own solar system to extremely remote fledgling galaxies forming not long after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. Credits: pictures of Hubble telescope, Space Shuttle Discovery and space are all from NASA. This Photoshop composite picture was created by Luming Marr on September 6, 2005. Please note the event depicted in this picture and caption did NOT really happen in the way as shown. Good Photoshop graphic design concept and calendar publishing idea example. Good photography course textbook supplemental reference and practice picture material.
