NASA has paused science activities for the Hubble Space Telescope after one of its three gyroscopes sent faulty readings back to Earth.
The space telescope, which has been delivering stunning views of the cosmos since its launch in 1990, was placed into safe mode on Tuesday while it awaits further instructions from the ground. The gyroscopes of Hubble are designed to measure the rate at which the space telescope is turning, helping operators determine the direction it is orientated in. Faulty readings from this particular gyro also caused Hubble to be placed in safe mode inHubble's operating team is currently working to identify possible solutions to this gyroscope issue.
