After reports of a computer glitch, scientists and space researchers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) in the US and the European Space Agency scrambled to find out what’s gone wrong with the famous Hubble space telescope.
Nasa has been trying to fix the problem since June, when Hubble stopped collecting data in outer space.
They found that the backup computer, which is usually able to help transmit messages back to Earth when the main computer malfunctions (see Word of the Week), has also stopped working.
