Birthdays are unfortunately also reminders of one's advancing age and creaky body parts 🙁

The 34-year old Hubble Space Telescope has been down since April 23 due to a malfunctioning gyroscope, needed for accurate pointing.

The same gyro caused Hubble to enter safe mode last November.

Only 3 out of 6 gyros have been working since 2018. Hubble can operate with just one gyro at somewhat reduced functionality, but NASA is attempting to revive the faulty unit first.
