Space Images: The Best of Hubble’s Shots

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried
into orbit by the Space Shuttle Discovery in April 1990. It is named after
the American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Although not the first space
telescope, the Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile, and is
well-known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for
astronomy. The HST is a collaboration between NASA and the European
Space Agency, and is one of NASA’s Great Observatories, along with the
Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and
the Spitzer Space Telescope.
