This "first light" image from Hubble was released in May 1990, to illustrate the telescope's improved resolution when compared to ground-based observatories. On the right is part of the first image taken with the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field/Planetary Camera. It is shown with a ground-based picture of the same region of the sky from Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. The Las Campanas picture was taken with a 100-inch telescope and it is typical of high-quality pictures obtained from the ground.

Why can’t the word Hubble be in the title ??

[Gay State Conservative]

Can’t they send someone out with a tool box and a laptop to straighten things out?

[woodbutcher1963]

They should have bought the manufacturers long term warranty plan.

Awwww. That makes me sad.

It looks like your gyroscope has failed. What would you like to do?
Continue, reboot in safe mode, or call tech support ($33,333,333/hr fees apply)

Beautiful illustration of a “point spread function”.

[Robert DeLong]

It went offline in 2018 also.

My local astronomy club has an image from early in the Hubble days. It’s an image from an “empty” point of space in a little slice sky in Ursa Major. It is awe inspiring how full that area actually is.

If only we we had a manned vehicle — oh, call it a “space shuttle” — so that we could fly a crew up there to fix it.

Looks like Easter's coming early this year. We all know that

33 years is way past it’s initial expected service life. But it would be nice if they could get it humming again.

30-year-old iconic space telescope

After 30 years with rapidly changing technology we haven't put up a replacement for Hubble?

[COBOL2Java]

Maybe someone uploaded Biden's brain to Hubble

[Liberty Valance]

Beware the eyes of Mars ...

The space agency explained via its blogpost that the Hubble Space Telescope entered safe mode on November 23 due to an "ongoing gyroscope (gyro) issue"

Unfortunately, it's hard to find a decent gyro shop in space.

But no worries: Greece Will Be on the Moon By 2022, Greek Space Agency’s Chairman Confirms.

Telescope has stopped working (33 years, RIP. 33!)

CLEAN UP IN ORBIT 5006B

[PLMerite]

"NASA has announced that its 30-year-old iconic space telescope has stopped working and paused all scientific operations following a gyro error."

Okay, who hired the cat?

[dwg2]

I was there when they launched it. Never thought it would still be around all these years later.

[markman46]

OMG, it keeps going into safe mode, because only one gyro is working out of 4.

there is a working group on how best to boost into a higher orbit, and possible fix it
