The Hubble Space Telescope (HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope, but it is one of the largest and most versatile, renowned as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy.
The Hubble Space Telescope has temporarily stopped observing the cosmos. NASA said the telescope slipped into a hibernating state more than a week ago when one of its three remaining gyroscopes ...
Scale comparison between the primary mirrors of the Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope, and the proposed LUVOIR-B and LUVOIR-A. Selected large telescopes which are in detailed design or pre-construction phases: Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR), a proposed space telescope for launch in the mid 2030s.
Researchers on Wednesday said NASA's Hubble Space Telescope managed to capture three separate images spanning a period of eight days starting just hours after the detonation - an achievement even ...
The Hubble Space Telescope captured a newly revealed image of the mysterious, ghostly shadows on Saturn’s rings — the latest sighting of the so-called “spokes” that continue to baffle ...
