Lesson61    Trouble with the Hubble

The Hubbletelescope was launched into space by NASA on April 20,1990 at a cost of over abillion dollars. Right from the start there was trouble with the Hubble. Thepictures it sent us were very disappointing because its main mirror was faulty!NASA is now going to put the telescope right, so it will soon be sending up fourastronauts to repair it. The shuttle Endeavour will be taking the astronauts tothe Hubble. A robot-arm from the Endeavour will grab the telescope and hold itwhile the astronauts make the necessary repairs. Of course, the Hubble is abovethe earth's atmosphere, so it will soon be sending us the clearest pictures ofthe stars and distant galaxies that we have ever seen. The Hubble will tell usa great deal about the age and size of the universe. By the time you read this,the Hubble's eagle eye will have sent us thousands and thousands of wonderfulpictures.
