Hubble

00:01:59 Seven brave astronauts are about to launch...

00:03:14 But here I am.

00:05:18 They launched from the Kennedy Space Center aboard the shuttle Discovery.

00:07:16 ...each containing a huge contact lens.

00:09:15 Distances here are so vast, they're measured in light-years.

00:11:51 That's why astronomers have nicknamed these strange objects "tadpoles."

00:14:00 ...either its gyroscopes or its batteries will die...

00:15:33 ...is it can point really, really accurately...

00:16:46 This'll be the first trip to space for Mike Good, known as Bueno.

00:18:11 Okay, Scooter. Look, it's a great day to go fly.

00:20:13 ...to catch up with the Hubble Space Telescope one last time.

00:21:50 ...in orbit the sun rises and sets every 90 minutes.

00:23:08 ...tool caddies, called mini workstations.

00:24:25 Day four: the installation of the critical Wide Field Camera.

00:26:07 Okay, your feet are on the boot plate here, left foot a little bit left.

00:27:07 Houston, Atlantis. We're ecstatically able to report...

00:28:13 Drew, I have a warning for you. There's a possible finger pinch hazard...

00:29:22 ...where I only think about the one specific task that I'm doing, the one specific screw.

00:30:44 - ...where there's no sun? - They look cool.

00:31:46 Now there's lots of planets out there in other solar systems.

00:33:10 In all our searching, we have yet to find another planet...

00:34:32 ...one of the truly remarkable inventions of humankind.

00:36:39 Intensely hot stars...

00:39:31 ...looking back across time towards the very edge of the observable universe.
