Happy news!

Hubble is saved. NASA has just announced that it will run a servicing mission to the ageing space telescope after more than two years of speculation about its fate.

NASA administrator Michael Griffin said the last three shuttle missions have provided convincing data that a mission to Hubble can be run safely.

And the BBC confirms it.

(I don't always trust El Reg - they can be very slapdash indeed with their stories, especially when it intersects with one of their agendas.)

Excellent news, however it arrives.

And here is is straight from the horse's mouth (http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/main/index.html), as it were.

That's damned good news, and a welcome reversal from the news that they were to shut Hubble down.

Hooray!

Hubble takes some pretty awesome space pictures. When I worked in Gov. Docs at the University library, I got to see all the stuff that came from NASA, some of which included pics from Hubble. Too bad I don't work there anymore :(
