Hubble telescope working, taking photos again

WASHINGTON – The Hubble Space Telescope is working again, taking stunning cosmic photos after a one-month breakdown.

The Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore said the $10 billion telescope is as good as it was before a shutdown in late September. That glitch scotched plans for spacewalking astronauts to upgrade the telescope this month.

Scientists made two repair attempts, and last week's effort apparently worked. NASA released a glimmering new Hubble photo showing two ring-shaped galaxies after they collided.
