Expanding Universe. The Hubble Space Telescope
Time, space, and telescopes.The grandeur of Hubble's world.
The Hubble Telescope, which conducts research on everything from black holes to extraterrestrial planets, is a space telescope put into orbit by NASA on April 24, 1990.This is not only the face of astronomy, but it has also made progress in thinking and possibilities that we are in space.The 30th anniversary of its entry into Earth's low orbit, the Expanding Universe update will reveal more hidden gems from Hubble's archive and showcase 30 new images.
These ultra-high resolution, photographed with little background light, have revealed a new mystery, such as the strange dark energy of seeing the universe expand at an increasing rate, while answering the most compelling questions about time and space.The collection includes an essay by photographer Owen Edwards and an interview with Zoltan Levi explaining how photographs are organized.Veteran Hubble astronauts Charles F. Bolden Jr. and John Mace Grunsfeld also provide insight into Hubble's legacy and future space exploration.
