MS DOS 4 was pretty stable.

Maybe the Hubble took a direct hit from a sizeable object, and is no longer serviceable.

I sure hope not,, it is a sitting duck tho.. it doesn’t take much mass when it’s going a gazillion miles an hour thru space .. it has done one heck of a job regardless.

"

In the unlikely scenario that 'dark matter' even exists, it would not be clustered like that; it would have to be homogenously distributed in most of the universe.

A Hubble Heritage ReleaseThe landmark 10th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope's Hubble Heritage Project is being celebrated with a 'landscape' image from the cosmos. Cutting across a nearby star-forming region, called NGC 3324, are the "hills and valleys" of gas and dust displayed in intricate detail. Set amid a backdrop of soft, glowing blue light are wispy tendrils of gas as well as dark trunks of dust that are light-years in height. NGC 3324 is located in the constellation Carina, about 7,200 light-years away from Earth. This image is a composite of data taken with two of Hubble's science instruments. Data taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) in 2006 isolated light emitted by hydrogen. More recent data, taken in 2008 with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), isolated light emitted by sulfur and oxygen gas. To create a color composite, the data from the sulfur filter are represented by red, from the oxygen filter by blue, and from the hydrogen filter by green.

Maybe it was that guy in the movie “Mystery Science theater 3000” when he was using the robotic arm......”The Hubble! You destroyed the Hubble!” Too funny...

That looks like a medical slide from Bill Clinton’s last clinic test.

I have no idea. It’s some generic face saying “Oh Snap” to my eyes. :) Who’s Lisa Nowak?
