The Herschel space telescope is readied for mating to a cylindrical adapter that will serve as the space telescope's interface with Ariane 5's payload stack in Kourou. Europe launched two powerful space telescopes -- Herschel and Planck -- designed to peer into the origins of the Universe and the formation of stars and galaxies. (AFP/ESA/L Mira)
