The Hubble Space Telescope's system for storing and transmitting data, which failed in September, has been restored to service. Among the first new images released is this pair of interacting galaxies in the constellation Cetus, more than 100 million parsecs from Earth.
A servicing mission to the telescope has been delayed from February 2009 until at least May.
