How Awesome is Hubble? (Answer: So Awesome)
Posted by jasoncross in Science on October 1, 2009
Back in May, NASA sent a crew of astronauts to the Hubble Space Telescope for the last time. STS-125 was an amazingly complex and risky mission, but also a smashing success. The crew fixed what wasn’t working and installed a bunch of new sensors and cameras and whoozits and whatchma-bobs. It took some months to test and calibrate and make sure everything was working, but we’re now getting back some new images from the greatest telescope ever built. And they’re awesome.
