00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.070
The decades-long career of
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope

2
00:00:03.070 --> 00:00:06.406
has resulted in a wealth of new
technologies...

3
00:00:06.406 --> 00:00:11.211
...many of which have found
earthly applications.

4
00:00:11.211 --> 00:00:13.981
Detector technology designed for
Hubble's cameras provides

5
00:00:13.981 --> 00:00:16.984
detailed images of suspicious
breast tissue so biopsies are

6
00:00:16.984 --> 00:00:22.122
more tarteted and less
painful...

7
00:00:22.122 --> 00:00:25.993
...while detectors with infrared
filters helped reveal previously

8
00:00:25.993 --> 00:00:29.096
illegible text on the Dead Sea
Scrolls.

9
00:00:29.096 --> 00:00:33.000
A star-matching algorithm was
modified to identify whale

10
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.336
sharks through their unique
patterns of spots.

11
00:00:36.336 --> 00:00:40.007
A laser tool developed to verify
Hubble's corrective optics

12
00:00:40.007 --> 00:00:43.610
is now used by shipping
companies to scan packages.

13
00:00:43.610 --> 00:00:47.014
Mirror-polishing techniques
inspired a polishing tool for

14
00:00:47.014 --> 00:00:50.984
speed skates, helping U.S.
Olympic skaters win gold.
