Where is the hubble space telescope loctated?

The Hubble Space Telescope is constantly moving, so wherever it is now, it won't be there in a minute from now. The HST is orbiting the Earth, about 350 miles up off the surface. It completes an orbit about once every 96-97 minutes, or 14-15 of them every day. The orbit is inclined about 28.5 degrees to Earth's equator, so the telescope is always directly over some place on Earth whose north or south latitude is 28.5 degrees or less.
