The Hubble telescope was launched into space by NASA on April 20, 1990 at a cost of over a billion dollars. Right from the start there was trouble with the Hubble. The pictures it sent us were very disappointing because its main mirror was faulty! NASA is now going to put the telescope right, so it will soon be sending up four astronauts to repair it. The shuttle Endeavor will be taking the astronauts to the Hubble. A robot-arm from the Endeavor will grab the telescope and hold it while the astronauts make the necessary repairs. Of course, the Hubble is above the earth‘s atmosphere, so it will soon be sending us the clearest pictures of the starts and distant galaxies that we have even seen. The Hubble will tell us a great deal about the age and size of the universe. Bu the time you read this, the Hubble‘s eagle eye will have sent us thousands and thousands of wonderful pictures.

哈勃望远镜是NASA1990年4月20号发射升空的，当时花费超过10亿美元。从一开始哈勃望远镜就有问题。因为它的主镜出了问题，传送回的照片让人很失望。NASA现在打算修正它，因此必须尽快送上4名宇航员到太空去修复它。“奋进”号宇宙飞船将送宇航员们送到哈勃望远镜。当宇航员开始必要的修复工作时，一个机械手臂从宇宙飞船伸出抓住哈勃望远镜并且固定着。当然，哈勃望远镜是在地球大气外面，因此它能快速传送给我们能看到过有关星星和远距离星系的高清照片。哈勃望远镜将告诉我们关于宇宙的年龄和大小等许多事情。就在你阅读这些的时候，敏捷的哈勃望远镜已经给我们传送了数以千计的精彩的照片。
