The main camera on the Hubble Space Telescope has shut down unexpectedly for the second time this year, the operators of the orbiting observatory announced Friday.

The Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, which coordinates use of the telescope, said the camera shut down Saturday. Program managers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and at the institute were investigating the cause. Observations on the Hubble were being rescheduled to use other instruments.
