News Obama's inauguration, a view from space

[SiberianTiger]

Just a quick thought - has the Hubble space telescope ever been pointed at earth? Could it even focus? The images would be interesting at least.

The HST cannot be pointed to objects as bright as the Moon, the Earth and the Sun because it would damage its sensitive instruments.

For a HST version adapted to pointing at the Earth, look for info on the KH-4 satellites.
