Most likely the greatest instrument created, in terms of data and knowledge gained, in the history of mankind. In other words: Best. Telescope. Ever. I love ScienceCasts :)
Congratulations to all astronauts who have worked on HUBBLE caring for its maintenance and replacing new parts as technology evolvs...Hope NASA is able to share all new findings with most countries who support its researches...this is our expectation as NASA and the HUBBLE are tools to the whole humanity...

Thinking about my eigenfrequency calculations of the Rosetta Lander balcony panel and my current life which has absolutely nothing to do at all with space aviation.
So, dear Nasa, there IS a "yawning starry expanse" that the astronauts CAN see then. (0:33) Now compare this to Apollo 11 astronuts who did not see any: "Don't remember seeing any." Somebody is lying in this room.
Demeter Ákos The image at 0:33 is edited. Anyone who has ever used a camera will know you can't take a photo of a very bright object(earth) and very faint objects in the background(the stars). The stars require a long exposure which will completely blow out the bright object. Which is exactly why you won't see stars in the Moon landings - they used cameras with short exposure settings or the astronauts would have completely blown out in the images.
Nikolay Ivanov Thank you very much for your answer. Are you please talking facts as first hand experience or these are just educated guessings? I am indeed very curious as it is very hard to see clear (LOL) in this issue. Apollo 11 astronauts are mentioning eyesight. Not the photos which I am aware of how they look. I am researching first hand (eye) experiences on this topic.
sharon thegreat Why do you think it's depressing? I highly doubt race is a factor in the selection. Are you saying they should have race quotas for astronauts and send unqualified people in space, rather than selecting the very best of the best and most passionate? Also, I'm pretty sure japan has labs abord the ISS sometimes ran by japanese scientists.
+BTiffney71 Sure there is a rare female and/or racialized astronaut, but as this list shows, the overwhelming majority are white men. White guys aren't inherently better or brighter. The only advantage they have is access to enhanced opportunities in order to achieve this level in their careers. This is only one very clear example of white male privilege. That is the depressing part.
I've never said white people are better, Why do you make it a racial issue?. I've said they only send the very best and most passionate people and it turns out that most the time, (not always) they're white male. So what? Are you saying they should have quota and select at least one black person and one female as part of every astronaut teams, even if there are people better qualified for the job? Just for the sake of diversity? Space is a very dangerous place, astronauts have to train for a very long time and therefore be extremely passionate and at the top of their physical condition, having quota would put people's lives at high risk. Don't you understand that? Race is not a factor.
Thanks for the telescope, guys!

I would have drawn a happy face :p
Oh my! How can anyone work with earth looking so beautiful! Its huge!!! Were so small. I hope we can call another planet home one day
I wonder if NASA has considered putting refueling ports on JWST for potential unmanned probe refueling missions.
C'est merveilleux, formidable la science je donnerai ma fortune et ma vie pour être au côté de ces hommes. ..
Thank Goodness for the Human Hand!

I was expecting to hear something about erosion...
Hubble has to come back home it is the most amazing piece of history of are time .
very interesting site
Its gonna be a sad day when the telescope comes crashing down through the atmosphere :(
Ailyuns.
We're eventually going to bottleneck technology and create the PHATTEST telescope ever ;D

Demeter Ákos Oh look, another moon landing denier. I bet you also think Earth is flat.

I have no idea why do you bet so, but thank you very much for your valuable comment on the topic.
Demeter Ákos
It's more valuable than any hippie conspiracy theory you're following.
Hubble is a good name for an ass gerbil. Aaanyway where is the James Webb one at NASA i mean come onn - Jimmay
LOL, only white astronauts xD
Kind of depressing.
