[ti:Trouble with the Hubble]

[00:13.09]What is the special importance of a telescope in space?
[00:20.66]The Hubble telescope was launched into
[00:24.13]space by NASA on April 20, 1990 at a cost of over a billion dollars.
[00:34.14]Right from the start there was trouble with the Hubble.
[00:38.92]The pictures it sent us were very disappointing because its main mirror was faulty!
[00:46.84]NASA is now going to put the telescope right,
[00:50.94]so it will soon be sending up four astronauts to repair it.
[00:56.18]The shuttle Endeavour will be taking the astronauts to the Hubble.
[01:02.05]A robot-arm from the Endeavour will grab the telescope and hold it while the astronauts make the necessary repairs.
[01:12.36]Of course, the Hubble is above the earth's atmosphere,
[01:18.02]so it will soon be sending us the clearest pictures of the stars and distant galaxies that we have ever seen.
[01:27.17]The Hubble will tell us a great deal about the age and size of the universe.
[01:34.04]By the time you read this, the Hubble's eagle eye will have sent us thousands and thousands of wonderful pictures.
