The Stanley Cup hard launched its new friendship.

The trophy hung out with a mockup of the Hubble Space Telescope at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, which resides 190 miles north of the Panthers home, on Merritt Island, Florida this week.

Who wore it better? @NASAHubble or @nhl Stanley Cup?

Earlier this year, the @flapanthers won their first championship and brought victory to Florida! The Stanley Cup recently visited Kennedy, checking out the Hubble mockup at @ExploreSpaceKSC and Vehicle Assembly Building. pic.twitter.com/SDaSFcfX6F

Lord Stanley was pictured next to the telescope replica, which bore a striking resemblance to the Cup, in a post by the Kennedy Space Center on social media.

After, the trophy visited the Vehicle Assembly Building at the complex. A picture of the Cup in front of the building was also shared by the Space Center.

It certainly was a visit for the comet books.
