Nasa joy as Atlantis meets Hubble

Space shuttle Atlantis has reached the Hubble telescope, orbiting at a height of 560km (350 miles) above the Earth.

The shuttle crew completed a delicate dance of manoeuvres intended to align Atlantis' robotic arm with the telescope during their approach.

Nasa astrophysicist Jon Morse said the team back down on Earth were delighted by the images sent back from space.
