This question appears to be at the heart of the production of the movie. I however felt that between the action of the astronauts and the images from the telescope the question was lost.

The outstanding feature of this film is the visuals. As you would expect a film dealing with a space-based telescope should have stunning visual images that are draw dropping and breath taking. It is here that the movie satisfies. The journey through the stars that is the product of Hubble images is simply wonderful.

critical role the Hubble telescope has played in the comprehension we have of the universe.
