Hubble Space Telescope 1990

The Hubble Telescope was first launched into space in 1990. This telescope was different from ones on earth because the image was not affected by earth's atmosphere. This added on to the low background light meant that it could take very high-resolution images of places outside of our solar system. It is also the only telescope that was designed to have work done in space on it. It uses a 7.9ft mirror that helped its other 4 main instruments observe the near ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra. Overall the Hubble Telescope has taken some of the most valuable photos of space in human history.

  1. I think its amazing to think how far technology has progressed. From the ENIAC in the mid-1900s to the Hubble Telescope in the late-1900s technology has advanced incredibly fast during a short amount of time.
