According to the passage, the telescope's images were fuzzy because Hubble's main mirror had been ground incorrectly.
The Hubble Space Telescope has changed the way we see the universe. For almost a quarter of a century, it has sent vast amounts of images from space. When Hubble was launched aboard the Space Shuttle Discover in 1990, Mission Control saw something it hadn't expected: fuzzy images. The outer edge of the telescope's primary mirror had been ground too flat, and it was off by roughly one-fiftieth the thickness of a human hair. Astronauts went in to install a replacement camera and an instrument with corrective lenses. The fix proved that very difficult and complicated operations could be undertaken by shuttle astronauts.
