​What is Hubble Space Telescope?​

The Hubble Space Telescope is a large space telescope orbiting Earth. The telescope captures pictures of our universe to help scientists on Earth understand it better. It was launched into orbit by space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. Hubble orbits about 332 miles above Earth. It travels about 5 miles per second. (Image: NASA)

What's more?

Orbiting 326 miles (525 km) above Earth’s surface, Hubble avoids the distorting effects of our atmosphere, enabling its clear vision of the cosmos. In a statement, John Grunsfeld, Hubble servicing mission astronaut and astronomer once said, "Hubble is not just a satellite. It’s a symbol of humanity’s quest for knowledge." Hubble has made more than 1.5 million observations over the course of its lifetime. Over 20,000 peer-reviewed science papers have been published on its discoveries, and every current astronomy textbook includes contributions from the observatory. (Image: NASA)
