Medicine & TechnologyNASA has announced that it has switched on Hubble Space Telescope's backup computing hardware and now has successfully turned it on once again. But now, what's next for the Hubble?
NASA engineers pore over the manuals of the Hubble Space Telescope ahead of switching on the backup computer of the space telescope. They think they have finally identified the cause of the glitch and will attempt this risky procedure later this week.
The Hubble Space Telescope currently faces its most serious glitch in over a decade, and while NASA is too keen to fix this iconic observatory, the agency does not want to hurry the restoration process.

NASA still struggles to pinpoint the exact reason Hubble Space Telescope went offline. Engineers are now investigating other hardware that might be causing the issue.
The two galaxies are in the final phase of their merger and astronomers expect a powerful flow of gas to trigger a frantic burst of star formation in the resulting compact galaxy.
It has been a week now since the Hubble Space Telescope went offline on June 13 as NASA struggles to fix the computer that controls its science instruments.
The most accurate distance measurement yet of ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC1052-DF2 confirms beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is lacking in dark matter.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope space viewing is halted for the fourth day after a 1980s-era computer stopped working. The telescope is idle since Sunday, and will now try to switch to a backup memory board.
Images of two iconic planetary nebulae taken by the Hubble Space Telescope are revealing new information about how they develop their dramatic features.
