More than 10,000 articles have been published by Hubble data, and it has surpassed its expected lifetime.

"The 10-year-old Hubble data take us that much closer to having a precise measure of the orbit."

Astronomers using Hubble data have published nearly 7,000 scientific papers, making it one of the most productive scientific instruments ever built.

The apparently extreme redshift seen in the Hubble data was only a guess-albeit a scientifically supported one.

Analysis of the new Hubble data shows that the nucleus has a diameter of approximately 0.93 miles (1.5 kilometers).

Many objective measures show the positive impact of Hubble data on astronomy.

Of the 200 papers published each year that receive the most citations, about 10% are based on Hubble data.

Hubble data was initially stored on the spacecraft.

Hubble data can be analysed using many different packages.

If the shuttle mission gets off on time and is successful, he said, the loss of Hubble data will be minimal.
