Shuttle to release Hubble...

to space early this morning, at approximately 6:00 am PDT, now that all the repairs have been completed. The space telescope will still undergo a three week period of instrument testing, cooling and calibration before it returns to science operations.

Farewell, Hubble, you're on your own now. If I seem a bit teary-eyed and blubbery today, this is why.
