IMHO the Hubble has been and still is one of if not the most important scientific instrument in human history. Not just for the fantastic science but the way it has inspired the population of this planet. Edwin would be proud.

If the James Web does not work as predicted we are going to have a great problem in that images are going to stop being taken. I wish they would keep the Hubble going, but then we would have had to keep the shuttle program going and we all know it is far more important to make the rich richer than any effort in Science.

We are slated to resume manned space flight missions, later this year. It may be possible to return to the Hubble before its end of mission, if NASA chose to do so.
30 years of wonder, exploration and awe inspiring beauty! Damn shame we can't bring home

It really belongs in the Smithsonian
@starwatcher-al it does..
Bringing anything back from space is a magnitude harder that getting it there, it is a shame though.

Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
