Browsing: Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most iconic astronomical observatories ever built, launched into Earth’s orbit in 1990 as a joint project between NASA and the European Space Agency. Orbiting above the distortion of Earth’s atmosphere, Hubble captures breathtakingly detailed images of galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and distant planets, transforming our understanding of the cosmos. Its observations have revealed the accelerating expansion of the universe, measured the age of the cosmos, and provided deep-field views of galaxies billions of light-years away. Continuously upgraded through space shuttle missions, the Hubble Space Telescope remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics and a symbol of humanity’s quest to explore the universe.
