How the Hubble Space Telescope Changed the World
Happy 34th Birthday, Hubble! Did you know that the Hubble Space Telescope has not only expanded our understanding of the universe, it has impacted innovations here on Earth? From enhancing illness detection imagery to tracking endangered species, Hubble has helped shape our lives and society.
The Hubble Space Telescope (often referred to as HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope, but it is one of the largest and most versatile, renowned as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy. The Hubble telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble and is one of NASA's Great Observatories. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) selects Hubble's targets and processes the resulting data, while the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) controls the spacecraft.
