The Hubble Space Telescope Launches Into Space!

How a giant flying camera changed everything we know about the universe

NASA launched Hubble, a bus-sized space telescope that shows us the secrets of the universe!

On April 26, 1990, something AMAZING happened! The Space Shuttle Discovery blasted off from Florida carrying a very special passenger — the Hubble Space Telescope!

Imagine a telescope the size of a school bus, floating 340 miles above Earth. That's Hubble! But why send a telescope into space? Great question!

Here's the thing — Earth's atmosphere is like looking through a foggy window. All that air makes stars look blurry from down here. But up in space? Crystal clear views of the entire universe!

Hubble was named after Edwin Hubble, a scientist who discovered that our galaxy isn't the only one out there. Mind-blowing, right?

💡 Hubble orbits Earth every 95 minutes, which means it sees about 15 sunrises and 15 sunsets every single day!
