That show is OLD, they have replaced the non working ones and even updated the
computer and one camera.

I was watching a show about Hubble last night but...fell asleep (it was very
late)

anyway, as I understand it only 3 of he Hubble's 6 gyroscopes are working.
Is this correct?

What is it's life expectancy?

Also, are the images for the VLT in Chile comparable to the Hubble images?

Thanks,
jojo
