Today I Learnt Hubble Was Accidentally Launched With Bad Eyesight And Had To Be Given Glasses

a screenshot of some text from the wikipedia page for the hubble space telescope . the text reads as such : "Within weeks of the launch of the telescope, the returned images indicated a serious problem with the optical system. Although the first images appeared to be sharper than those of ground-based telescopes, Hubble failed to achieve a final sharp focus and the best image quality obtained was drastically lower than expected."
a screenshot of some text from the wikipedia page for the hubble space telescope . the text reads as such : "Instead, the fact that the mirror had been ground so precisely to the wrong shape led to the design of new optical components with exactly the same error but in the opposite sense, to be added to the telescope at the servicing mission, effectively acting as "spectacles" to correct the spherical aberration."

a whiteboard fox doodle of hubble and juice from 17776 , drawn with humanoid designs . they look like they're taking a group selfie . juice is to the right of hubble , leaning down slightly to match his height , with his left arm waving at the viewer from behind hubble . hubble seems surprised and a little awkward , just standing there and staring at the viewer . juice's magnetometer boom tail is standing tall behind him , while hubble's high gain antenna tail is held idly to the right of him .

A drawing of Pioneer Nine from 17776 depicted as a humanoid. They are drawn in a red outline, and the background is space. Nine has shoulder length hair, with large headphones that have their 4 booms attached, as well as a little microphone. They wear square glasses, and have a displeased expression. Their arms are wrapped around themselves protectively. Nine says “Ten, I’m cold.” Ten, who is not pictured, replies, “you’re not human, you can’t be cold.” Nine says, “…I feel cold.”

its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%
