Wonder what kinds of pic's the Hubbell sent back when not looking away from Earth?
Pretty blurry ones, I should imagine. Hubble's groundspeed is about 7 km/s, the shortest exposure time of any HST instrument is 0.1s, and the flywheels it uses to rotate would take forever to make it turn fast enough to keep one bit of the surface in sight :-)
