The NASA space shuttle Atlantis and the Hubble Space Telescope are seen in silhouette, side by side during solar transit on May 13, 2009, from west of Vero Beach, Florida in this image released by NASA. The two spaceships were at an altitude of 600 km and they zipped across the sun in only 0.8 seconds during a risky but successful mission to rescue the Hubble telescope. (
