Hubble Space Telescope (HST)

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a large, powerful telescope orbiting Earth in space. It captures high-resolution images and data of stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects without atmospheric interference. Launched in 1990, Hubble helps scientists understand the universe's origins, evolution, and large-scale structure. Its position above Earth's atmosphere allows for clearer observations than ground-based telescopes, making it a crucial tool for astronomy and astrophysics research. Hubble’s discoveries have expanded our knowledge of billions of years of cosmic history and continue to inspire exploration.
