COSMIC MESSAGE
The Hubble Space Telescope regularly receives upgrades from visiting Space Shuttle crews. During its second servicing mission, astronauts replaced older instruments with new ones. These new "eyes," like the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer, expand Hubble's capabilities, allowing it to see more of the universe in different wavelengths.
