Astronaut Rick Linnehan waves to crewmates inside the Space Shuttle Columbia during one of his spacewalks to service the Hubble Space Telescope.
The two astronauts replaced the giant telescope's right solar panel during their seven-hour spacewalk on March 4, 2002.
The two went on to replace the giant telescope’s starboard solar array during a seven-hour spacewalk on March 4, 2002.
The bright reflection is from the end of the canister holding the folded solar array that astronauts Linnehan and John M. Grunsfeld took off the Hubble Space Telescope.
The astronauts replaced the old solar array with a new, stronger one (SA3). They also did some tasks to get ready for the mission's other spacewalks.
The bottom part of the giant telescope is visible over Grunsfeld's left shoulder. A crewmate took the picture with a digital camera from the shuttle's back flight deck.
