✅   The 35th Anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope

Science

Thirty-five years ago, in April of 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit aboard the space shuttle Discovery. Since then, NASA reports that Hubble has made “nearly 1.7 million observations, looking at approximately 55,000 astronomical targets,” bringing so much of the nearby universe into focus. Gathered here is a collection of amazing recent images—some published in celebration of Hubble’s 35th anniversary, others either newly released or recently updated with new techniques.
