00:00On this day in space.
00:03On May 11, 2009, the space shuttle Atlantis launched on the fifth and final servicing mission for the Hubble Space
00:08Telescope.
00:10During mission STS-125, astronauts installed two new instruments on the telescope.
00:15One was the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph, which allowed Hubble to observe faint objects in the cosmos in ultraviolet light.
00:21This would help researchers study the formation of galaxies and other large-scale structures in the universe.
00:25The second instrument was the Widefield Camera 3, which replaced the old Widefield and Planetary Camera 2 that was installed
00:32during the first servicing mission in 1993.
00:35This new camera could observe the universe in visible, near-infrared, and near-ultraviolet light with a higher resolution and
00:41a larger field of view than any of Hubble's older instruments.
00:44The crew completed their tasks in five spacewalks over the course of the 13-day mission.
00:49And that's what happened on this day in space.
00:55Come at me.
00:56I'm arrancame the beginning for my rak墓s.
00:56And that was really투ers operações that show Webber�slanto.
