The repairs made by the Atlantis Space Shuttle crew in their historic eleven day mission will enable the Hubble Space Telescope to see farther into our universe than ever before.  It was quite a ride for STS-125.

Five spacewalks extended Hubble’s lifespan until at least the year 2014
Replaced gyroscopes, batteries and science data transmitter
Increased the space telescope’s power 10 x 70 times
Installed new instruments (like the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph) and thermal blankets
Repaired two existing instruments

Some of the astronauts were blogging from space.  Mission specialist Mike Massimino is on Twitter as astro_mike.
