The cause of the current Hubble Trubble which has placed the iconic space telescope in pause mode may have been identified.
Appropriate remote installation of backup modules starts today and will take a few days to complete.

WOW!!!

Photos from a recent flyby by the Juno probe in orbit around Jupiter have been put together to form a video sequence.

Jaw dropping as you skim over the top of Jupiter's atmosphere.

The Hubble Trubble seems to have been sorted, although they aren't sure what it was!

Onboard backup devices installed, software updated and it has booted up successfully.
It will take a few days to get the telescope fully operational again.

"SuperBIT: A low-cost, balloon-borne telescope to rival Hubble

Unlike orbiting space telescopes, SuperBIT can be continually reconfigured and upgraded.

First science mission starts April next year.

A curious coincidence. This recent research paper ties in with the rotating moon image.
The nearside and farside of the Moon look very different, with several vast volcanic lava plains, dark "mare", dominating the appearance of the nearside that don't appear on the farside.

The new research indicates that a massive ancient asteroid impact was the cause of this dichotomy.
