LIVE: Young voter helps break down issues Millennial and Gen Z voters care about on Path to the PollsThis photo provided by NASA, an STS-125 crew member aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis captured this image of NASAs Hubble Space Telescope on May 19, 2009. NASA said the telescope slipped into a hibernating state more than a week ago when one of its gyroscopes _ part of the pointing system _ malfunctioned. The same device has been acting up for months and disrupting scientific operations.
Hubble got six new gyroscopes during astronauts’ final visit in 2009. The devices' spinning wheels keep the telescope stable and looking the right way by tracking Hubble's rotation and position in space.
