Not Dead Yet 

Although much scientific and public attention has shifted from the Hubble to the new James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble is proving that it is not dead yet and can still make discoveries.  Hubble has been a scientific and PR bonanza for NASA since its launch.  It opened vast sections of space for observation and piled one amazing image upon another of the cosmos.  For the time being, both space telescopes are functioning well and producing deep-space photos of immediate use to astronomers.  NASA has a communications coup that will last for decades, and it knows how to exploit it.
