Description:
On April 25, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was deployed! <br/><br/>Hubble is famous for taking some of the most amazing deep-space photos ever. It hitched a ride to space on the space shuttle Discovery with mission STS-31. Also on board were astronauts Charles Bolden, Loren Shriver, Bruce McCandless, Steven Hawley and Kathryn Sullivan. The crew used a Canadian-built robotic arm to deploy Hubble from the shuttle's cargo bay while they were orbiting 332 nautical miles above the Earth. No one knew it at the time, but Hubble wouldn't be taking any pretty pictures anytime soon. When Hubble took its first photos almost a month after it was deployed, the pictures were out of focus because of a flaw in its mirror. Thankfully, the problem was fixable, and astronauts successfully repaired it in 1993.

People are increasingly breathing, eating and drinking tiny plastic particles.<br/><br/>Negotiators must streamline the existing treaty draft and decide its scope: whether it will focus on human health and the environment, limit the actual production of plastic, restrict some chemicals used in plastics, or any combination of the above.

_stop-at-the-level-of-refining-qi-for-100000-years-ep-127-eng-sub.webp "100 thousand years ago, the Tianlan Sect dominated the cultivation world, and the disciples in the sect were all arrogance, invincible. Only the disciple Xu Yang, the founder of the mountain, has been in the Qi refining period. In order to break through his cultivation base and ascend as soon as possible, Xu Yang retreated for thousands of years. Unexpectedly, when he left the gate, the realm of comprehension had already declined, and there were only three or five disciples left in the Misty Sky Sect. Seeing that the sect was about to be wiped out, Xu Yang repelled the powerful enemy and vowed to lead the Misty Sky Sect back to its peak! With the expansion of Tianlanzong’s power, the truth of Xu Yang’s stagnant cultivation was revealed step by step. For thousands of years, a secret that penetrated the three realms of humans, demons, and immortals was also revealed to everyone! Does one thought become a god, or one thought becomes a demon? The life and death of the world are in the palm of Xu Yang!<br/>")
