An article on Space Today confirms that the Hubble is back in business after shutting down yesterday due to a gyro failure.
Upon failure, the telescope went in to "safe mode" while scientists and engineers attempted to revive the gyro. Unable to do that, they activated one of the two remaining backup gyros and the system is now operating once again.
