Question
the ingenious solution to hubble’s flaw was the corrective optics system called costar (corrective optics space telescope axial replacement). acting like a pair of glasses for the telescope, costar corrected the flaw in the primary mirror. in 1993, astronauts aboard the space shuttle endeavour captured hubble with the shuttle’s robotic arm and installed the new equipment, a moment that marked a significant leap in space technology. they also nudged hubble into a slightly higher orbit, further enhancing its functionality. —windows to the universe: revolutions in astronomy what phrases in the passage signal how the hubble telescope’s blurry images were fixed? choose two correct answers. ☐ “ingenious solution” ☐ “hubble’s flaw” ☐ “corrected the flaw” ☐ “acting like” ☐ “robotic arm”
- "ingenious solution" directly refers to the COSTAR system, which was the method used to fix Hubble's blurry images.
- "corrected the flaw" explicitly states the action that resolved the issue causing the blurry images.
The other options either reference the problem itself, a descriptive analogy, or a tool used during installation, not the fix for the blurry images.
