Summary writing

When the Hubble telescope was launched into space on April 20, 1990, the pictures it sent us were very disappointing because its main mirror was faulty. Four astronauts from the shuttle Endeavour will be making the necessary repairs, and eventually, the pictures from the Hubble will tell us a great deal about the age and size of the universe.
