Finished Repair on Hubble

Today I learned that the Hubble was finished with its repair. Spacewalking astronauts completed repairs to the Hubble Space Telescope on Monday. This was leaving it more powerful than ever and able to see deeper into the cosmos. This is almost to the end of creation. The last humans to lay hands on Hubble outfitted the observatory. They were with another set of new batteries. They also had a new sensor for pointing and protective covers. That equipment along with other improvements made over the last five days should allow the telescope to make good views of the universe for another five to 10 years. This is a very important moment in human history. That's what Hubble senior project scientist David Leckrone said in Houston. He also said we will rewrite the textbooks at least one more time. It was the fifth and final spacewalk for the shuttle Atlantis crew. It was also the final visit by astronauts ever to Hubble. The spacewalk was going to finish. I am glad that nobody got hurt on this spacewalk because there was a lot of debris that could have made it very difficult and dangerous to repair the Hubble.
