What's wrong with the Hubble? I thought all was good now.
It was scheduled for one more repair mission before it was retired. The Columbia crash has squeezed the schedule and new regulations may prevent the misson from taking place.
Without the mission, the Hubble may not last until it's replacement is in place.

We are so lucky to live in the cosmic neighborhood that we do - there are no supernova candidates within 80 lightyears of us - if a star any closer ever supernovad (sp?) the earth would get pounded with insane amounts of hard radiation,wiping out all life on the surface.

Just as we near the end of the hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean, winds whirl and clouds churn 2 billion miles away in the atmosphere of Uranus, forming a dark vortex large enough to engulf two-thirds of the United States. Astronomers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to take the first definitive images of a dark spot on Uranus. The elongated feature measures 1,100 miles by 1,900 miles (1,700 kilometers by 3,000 kilometers). This three-wavelength composite image was taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys on August 23, 2006. The research team found the dark spot again on August 24. The inset image shows a magnified view of the spot with enhanced contrast. Uranus's north pole is near the 3 o'clock position in this image. The bright band in the southern hemisphere is at 45 degrees south.
