[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.
