Dennis C asked:
I was watching a documentary the other day and it said that the Hubble Space Telescope is in danger of falling apart and just drifting off into space (or crashing on Earth) because it has long past its due date. But besides the obvious “there’s not enough money” what’s preventing NASA from just retrieving the telescope and repairing it on Earth and sending it back up?

Nazdaran asked:
Why is the Hubble Space Telescope considered to give the best images in the visible when telescopes such as the Keck 10 m telescopes have almost five times larger mirrors?.

To take astro-photographs on the earth, needs your telescope to be accurately aligned on one axis to the pole star, how is the hubble scope able to take great pictures, is it aligned or does it use some other mechanism?
