Stock Photo - EARTH -- 09 March 2002 -- The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) heads back toward its normal routine, after a week of servicing and upgrading by the STS-109 astronaut crew on board the Space Shuttle Columbia. NASA may soon be withdrawing the space telescope due to budget concerns and a prioritization of funding towards the ISS which will leave us with no space telescope for several years, though improvements in ground-based telescopes have achieved similar results of late -- Picture © Lightroom / NASA.
