Hubble's Final Frontier

Orbiting nearly 650 kilometres above the Earth, the Hubble space telescope has been our most powerful window on soaring star factories. It has been instrumental in providing the existence of black holes and has captured the cataclysmic end of stars far larger than our own sun. Rocking a long-established theory about universe existence, Hubble proved that the universe is expanding more and more quickly, which could ultimately destroy our entire universe.

The telescope also provided the first stunningly-detailed images that illustrate how embryonic stars are born from gas and dust clouds. First recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054 A.D., Hubble has tracked the debris from a thousand year old supernova still moving into space at approximately 5 million kilometres an hour.

No, actually you just have too wait for an hour, then you can watch 72mins again. But yeah, it sucks hard.

@peever: Here's a solution to the megavideo problem:

I haven't tried it myself but I hope it works. I guess I shouldn't upload videos longer than 72 minutes to megavideo.

I dont know y they can not keep Hubble up there..

sure they can , they are going to send a new one in 2013 but what happens if any thing goes wrong with the new one.... we will have nothing to continue looking up in the stars .

I say let keep Hubble . and the new telescope
2 is better than one.
