Hubble telescope

The $10 billion telescope is nearly ready to begin capturing images that scientists hope will help uncover the mysteries of the universe — and scope out other possible habitable planets.

This weekend, a virtual choir will be integrated into a live performance of the Florida Orchestra and Master Chorale of Tampa Bay.

Launched shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Hubble telescope isn't showing its age. Astronomers and other fans hope this old charmer will be useful for many years to come.
