title: One of the Hubble Telescope's

[One of the Hubble Telescope's three remaining gyroscopes](http://www.cnn.com/TECH/space/9911/15/hubble.breakdown.02/) shut down over the weekend, leaving the telescope useless. Three other gyroscopes had previously failed. NASA has a repair mission planned for early December, and astronomers have put the telescope into hibernation until then.
