Where is the largest stalagmite in the world?
Many caves around the world report having the "world's largest stalagmite," but these are often unsupported claims. As featured on the BBC series "Planet Earth," the largest recorded stalagmite is in the cave of Cueva San Martin Infierno, Cuba. It measures 62.2 metres (220 feet) high. There is still the possibility of a larger stalagmite being found, as many cave systems across the world are as of yet unexplored, or have not been documented.

The shuttle that carried it launched at 0833 on April 24 1990 but what time the next day was the Hubble space telescope deployed?
To the best of my knowledge and intensive research among all the available photos and videos there is no record telling the exact hour of deployment of the HST. It appears that this information has not been considered of importance. The EXIF-files of the images of the HST taken during the deployment are not available. There are a few shots showing the HST immediately after deployment with clearly recognizable features of the land below, e.g. Cuba and the Bahamas, in broad daylight. Looking at details of such photos gives an estimated time of about 11 hours local time in Cuba which would be 14 hours GMT (UTC).
