...it creates shock waves on their

near sides, and long tails behind.

That's why astronomers have nicknamed

these strange objects "tadpoles."

Inside each cocoon

is an infant solar system.

These tadpoles might turn into

full-grown solar systems one day...

...but the continuous blast of wind

may stunt their growth.

But tucked away in a calmer part

of Orion's nursery...

...Hubble has found confirmation...

...that planets are forming

around other stars.

Our own solar system

may have looked just like this...

...when the sun had formed,

but the Earth did not yet exist.

Perhaps this is how we

and our own world began.

The once-ailing

Hubble Space Telescope...

...offered its greatest performance yet...

...a glimpse of time and space astronomers

had previously only dreamed about.

But for the Hubble, time is running out...

...amid new concerns

about safety in space.

In early 2003, the tragic loss

ofspace shuttle Columbia...

...forced NASA to rethink its program.

NASA has canceled

Hubble's final service mission.

In Washington, Senator Barbara Mikulski

led the charge to review the decision...

...questioning NASA Administrator

Sean O'Keefe's January claim...

...that keeping Hubble alive

wasn't worth the cost or the risk.

Hubble is not a piece of techno-junk

that's creaky, tattered and worn.

If we do nothing,

then within about two years...

...either its gyroscopes

or its batteries will die...

...and it'll tumble out of control.

But flight designers came up

with a daring plan to reduce the risk.

If the shuttle was damaged

during launch...

...another one could come up

and rescue the stranded crew.

They could shimmy from one to

the other down the arm, fireman style.

We'll let them try it first.

We are going to add

a shuttle servicing mission...

...to the Hubble Space Telescope,

to the shuttle's manifest...

...to be flown before it retires.

The final mission is a go...

...and for the first time,

a second orbiter stands ready...

...in case there's a call for help.

Just weeks to launch,

the Hubble crew is training hard.

The spacewalkers practice

in this six million gallon pool...

...at the Johnson Space Center.

It's the closest they can get

to zero gravity.

Motion is stopped for the stanchion.

Okay.

Four stories underwater...

...there's an entire shuttle cargo bay

and a life-size model of Hubble.

A big thing about this telescope...

...is it can point really, really accurately...

...and hold its position, and

it's the gyros that allow you to do that.

But they're in a tough spot.

- Got them?

- I got your legs.

I'm gonna move in a little bit.

We'll stick Mass,

my spacewalking partner...
