Math to Crack Deep Impact Blurry Vision Problem

starexplorer writes "NASA announced that they believe they have a solution for the Deep Impact mission's blurry vision problem: math. Although the craft will still snap blurry pictures of the Tempel-1 comet, mathmetical manipulation will help scientists clear up the images once they make their way back to Earth. A special report and viewing guide are also available at SPACE.com."

    No. NASA fixed Hubble's focus problem by adding more optics. It was the first time the shuttle was used to repair a satellite in orbit.

    No NASA fixed that problem by altering the lense of the hubble. It was very similar to a big RK.
