crap.. not good news for the Hubble..
I did not realise low earth orbit was so busy..
Why is the Hubble of all things so close to an orbital freeway..
(and is it maneuverable ?)

A recent (very cool) ISS flyover got me google'ing up about it (the ISS)..
and this incident remind me how brave those guys up there are..
Its just so dangerous..

Articles seem to say the collision poses no immediate threat (to the ISS)..
But what about more long term..
The collision was at aprox. 800Km up and the ISS is about 400km..
