Space shuttle Atlantis back home in Florida
(AP) -- The space shuttle Atlantis is back home in Florida.
The shuttle made the trip from California on Tuesday anchored to the top of a Boeing 747.
Atlantis landed in California on May 24 after a 13-day mission to repair and enhance the Hubble Space Telescope. The shuttle landed there because of poor weather at Kennedy Space Center.
It started the trip home on Monday.
