Recently on CNN Headline News I thought I saw a real picture of the Shuttle and the Hubble in one picture. The picture appeared to be taken from a vantage point somewhat away from both the Shuttle and Hubble but they were clearly close together (a few tens of meters). The picture was not taken from the Shuttles remote arm because it was in the picture. Can any one explain this. I didn't think there was any EVA on this mission. Douglas Phillipson

In-Reply-To: message from doug@herbert.uucp Regarding your message of 27 Nov, regarding the photo of the Shuttle and Hubble on CNN. There was no EVA on STS-31. Kathy Sullivan and Bruce McCandless were in the airlock, but EVA was not performed. Perhaps what was shown was a composite photo of the Hubble after release, along with a previous picture of the orbiter from another mission. Your further comments on the subject can be sent to me at nick@pro-canaveral.cts.com.
