Four AAI members have had research projects chosen by the Space Telescope Science Institute, using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Considering that only a few dozen amateurs have ever had time on HST, having four of these people as members of AAI is quite remarkable.

The HST amateaur group photo below includes members Dr. Lew Thomas, Dr. Karl Hrico, and George Lewycky. The full story of their project can be found here.

AAI member, and past AAI President, Jim Flood, also had a research project using HST. The full story of his project, with pictures, can be found here.
