213-hst-over-earth-dixon-sternbach 213-hst-over-earth-dixon-sternbach –A vertical space art composition featuring the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) operating in low Earth orbit with its main aperture door open. Below, a Space Shuttle orbiter flies over a highly detailed, snow-covered mountain range, illuminated by the low angle of a distant sun. A full Moon is visible near the planet's atmospheric limb, while the dark background sky is dominated by a sweeping, red emission nebula embedded with young stars.
