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.
