Once installed on the Hubble Space Telescope during the upcoming servicing mission this year, COS will dramatically advance physics and astrophysics research on the origin of the Universe, astronomical objects, evolution of galaxies, and planetary system formations. In addition, the spectroscope will significantly enhance the spectroscopic capabilities of the telescope at ultraviolet wavelengths, provide scientists with unparalleled opportunities for observing faint sources of ultraviolet and cosmic web light that will absorb new cosmic information and help the telescope investigate the collected data until the end of its mission, currently 2013.

How is this video not interesting? If you want some pretty pictures wait till they're done fixing Hubble or go look at the previous pics hubble have taken (google it!).

This helped me with science homework. Whoo~ ;D

ty lol i got my science oroject done XD now i just need to green screen some of these shots for my laptop presentation :)

So you would rather hubble take a bunch of pretty pictures to satisfy your visual asthetics, and you think that is a good way to spend their multi-billion dollar funds which you likely pay for? Seems like a waste of tax payers money to me.

Hey Nasa, you going to beat the Asians to the moon, again, before 2020??

Anyways..

There is in a sense of Cosmic Evolution but only because of God's cause/reaction.

This is so boring. Hey nasa guys, people dont wana listen to some a-holes blabering. If you gona show us something, show us hi, HI, REALLY HI resolution pictures of earth, jupiter, pluto... whatever. ppl wana see hi res pictures of any planet any rock or star... If you dont wana show us alien life forms yet thats ok but FFS make it more interesting.
