Description

The highly successful Hubble Space Telescope was meant to change our view and understanding of the universe. Within weeks of its launch in 1990, however, the space community was shocked to find out that the primary mirror of the telescope was flawed. It was only the skills of scientists and engineers on the ground and the daring talents of astronauts sent to service the telescope in December that saved the mission.


Hubble Space Telescope teach us about:

  1. Possibility of additional life forms
  2. Exoplanets
  3. Distant galaxies
  4. Black holes,
  5. And so forth.


The Hubble Space Telescope: The History and Legacy of the World's Most Famous Telescope chronicles the fascinating story of the telescope's origins, deployment, and production. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Hubble telescope like never before.
