航空宇宙局 pauses $16 billion Hubble space telescope that pinned 負かす/撃墜する age of the universe 予定 to 'glitch'

  • One of Hubble's gyroscopes is 事実上の/代理 up, so the telescope went into 安全な 方式
  • Scientists are 人物/姿/数字ing out what to do, but the telescope can run on just one gyro
  • 航空宇宙局 公式の/役人s say they 計画(する) to keep Hubble running as long as they かもしれない can?

航空宇宙局?明らかにする/漏らすd Friday? that the Hubble Space Telescope has paused 操作/手術s because of a mechanical 問題/発行する.

The problem is one of the gyroscopes, which are needed to help Hubble turn and lock の上に new 的s.

Hubble automatically went into '安全な 方式' on Tuesday, when one of its three gyroscopes - gyros for short - started sending 支援する 欠陥のある readings.

Scientists used Hubble to pin 負かす/撃墜する the first 公式の/役人 見積(る) of the age of the universe, 同様に as to 逮捕(する) images from the beginning.?

操作/手術s are 一時停止するd for now, while 航空宇宙局 公式の/役人s are working to 直す/買収する,八百長をする the glitch.

The Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope currently work by side, but it is only a matter of time before Hubble is scaled back and eventually wound down.

The Hubble Space Telescope and the James Web b Space Telescope 現在/一般に work by 味方する, but it is only a 事柄 of time before Hubble is 規模d 支援する and 結局 負傷させる 負かす/撃墜する.

Hubble captured this image of Mars in 2016. Initially launched via the space shuttle Discovery in 1990, Hubble has been in operation more or less continuously ever since.

Hubble 逮捕(する)d this image of 火星 in 2016. 最初 開始する,打ち上げるd 経由で the スペースシャトル 発見 in 1990, Hubble has been in 操作/手術 more or いっそう少なく continuously ever since.

開始する,打ち上げるd in 1990, the 34-year-old space telescope has had 問題/発行するs with its gyros from time to time.?

In 新規加入 to 手段ing the 速度(を上げる) an 反対する is turning, the gyros also help Hubble stay stable and oriented.

Each of the telescope's gyros 含む/封じ込める a wheel that spins 19,200 times per minute within a 調印(する)d cylinder.

The cylinder is immersed in a 厚い, viscous fluid - like モーター oil. 罰金 wires permeate the fluid, carrying electricity to the モーター.?

It's not (疑いを)晴らす whether this is the 事例/患者 now, but in the past, 与圧するd 空気/公表する that 軍隊s the 厚い fluid into the space with the wires had corroded them and 原因(となる)d them to break.

The last スペースシャトル 使節団 to service the gyros was in 2009.

On that 使節団, broken gyros were 取って代わるd with ones filled with 与圧するd 窒素 instead of oxygen, meant to 妨げる corrosion.

Since the end of the スペースシャトル program in 2001 and the 開始する,打ち上げる of the James Webb Space Telescope in 2021, there are no 計画(する)s to send その上の 乗組員s to 修理 Hubble.?

But this does not やむを得ず mean the end for Hubble.

This view of galaxy cluster MACS0416 was created by combining infrared observations from the James Webb Space Telescope with visible-light data from the Hubble Space Telescope.

This 見解(をとる) of 星雲 cluster MACS0416 was created by 連合させるing infrared 観察s from the James Webb Space Telescope with 明白な-light data from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Hubble captured this huge and detailed image of Spiral Galaxy M106. Ever since the James Webb Space Telescope was launched, the two have been working together.

Hubble 逮捕(する)d this 抱擁する and 詳細(に述べる)d image of Spiral 星雲 M106. Ever since the James Webb Space Telescope was 開始する,打ち上げるd, the two have been working together.

The same gyro had an 問題/発行する 支援する in November, 原因(となる)ing Hubble to enter 安全な 方式 then, too, 航空宇宙局 発表するd.

It happened when the gyro gave 欠陥のある readings, meaning it could not be relied on to 正確に 手段 how quickly Hubble is turning.?

航空宇宙局 said the team that operates the telescope is working to 人物/姿/数字 out 可能性のある 解答s.

It can operate with just one gyro, if 絶対 necessary.

In that 事例/患者, the third remaining gyro would stand by as a reserve.?

Hubble captured this image of a black hole in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Black holes distort light nearby, causing this effect called 'gravitational lensing.'

Hubble 逮捕(する)d this image of a 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける in our 星雲, the 乳の Way. 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開けるs distort light nearby, 原因(となる)ing this 影響 called 'gravitational レンズing.'

支援する in 2009 when Hubble was serviced for the fifth and final time, it received six new gyros.

Only three of those gyros are still working - 含むing the one that has been sending 支援する 欠陥のある signals.

Ideally, Hubble will use three gyros at a time, but it is possible for it to work with just one at a time.?

?As to whether this is the end of H ubble, 航空宇宙局 公式の/役人s remain 楽観的な.

'航空宇宙局 心配するs Hubble will continue making groundbreaking 発見s, working with other 観測所s, such as the 機関’s James Webb Space Telescope, throughout this 10年間 and かもしれない into the next,' wrote the 機関 in an 告示 today.
