The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) is a research center in Baltimore, Maryland, primarily responsible for managing the Hubble Space Telescope. Established in 1981, STScI conducts scientific research using Hubble's observations, making key discoveries about the universe. It also supports astronomers by providing tools and resources to analyze astronomical data. Beyond Hubble, the institute is involved in managing science operations for future space telescopes, like the James Webb Space Telescope. STScI plays a crucial role in enhancing our understanding of the cosmos and advancing space science.
