The Hubble Space Telescope, proclaimed by NASA to be the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo, was placed in orbit on this day in history, April 25, 1990.
The Hubble Space Telescope, which has delivered awe-inspiring images of creation and destruction from the deepest reaches of the universe, was placed into orbit on this day in history, April 25, 1990. 'Hubble's launch and deployment in April 1990 marked the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo's telescope,' NASA writes in an online history of the Hubble program.
Hubble continues to explore deep space today, circling the Earth every 95 minutes. 'Edwin Hubble is acclaimed as one of the great scientists of this century — one who was able to see what others looked for but didn’t see,' says the website of the Institute of Science and Technology in Kansas City.
