The Hubble Space Telescope 25th Anniversary

The Hubble Space Telescope launched in April 1990. Hubble lies directly above the atmosphere. This is essential for observational astronomy because our atmosphere distorts our view of space. Hubble has shown us possible black holes, new galaxies, and the spot on Jupiter. 25 years later, it is still pushing the forefronts of astronomy.

NASA is holding a series of events and has launched a website in honor of Hubble: http://hubble25th.org/
