After Hubble broke down since the transmission to the ground last month NASA has finally repaired the backup system. It is still in working order.
This is a picture of 2 smoke-ring Galaxies, known as arp 147, 450,000,000 light-years (distance light travels in a year) away. Mario Livio,from NASA "one of the galaxies passed through the other, causing a circular wave, like a pebble tossed into a pond, that has now coalesced into a ring of new blue stars." I think it is clearly exciting that Hubble is up and running!I am still quite afraid because NASA has attempted to fix it repetitively but it just broke down. Also NASA has not used it for 18 years (when they launched it).

What you are saying is not exactly true. The hubble is working, except for the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrograph, but they shold be working in about 5 weeks. :-{) }:-)
