The announcement that a space shuttle crew will be sent to repair and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope has been greeted by astronomers with joy. One of them is Mario Livio of the Space Telescope Science Institute. He talks with us about the science Hubble may accomplish in its extended life. Emily Lakdawalla looks forward to our Sun NOT exploding. Bruce Betts has a favorite crater along with What's Up in the night sky and this week's space trivia contest, while Mat has space headlines.
