Description

The Hubble telescope, launched into orbit 320 miles above the Earth in 1990, carries optical and other instruments able to look deep into space without interference from the Earth's atmosphere. The resulting photographs and data reveal the extraordinary beauty of the universe beyond Earth, and are helping to shape man's theories about the origins of the stars and planets.
