The Hubble Telescope

The amazing Hubble telescope in space. It is as large as a bus and moving with a velocity of 17,000 miles per hour, in an orbit 400 miles above Earth. Still, it can keep its focus trained on a dime from 2000 miles afar. Many historic discoveries in Space have been made possible with the unique telescope. It can show us how the Universe was like 13 billion years ago. Using the Hubble Telescope, scientists estimate that there are at least 125 billion Galaxies in the whole Universe. It was carried into orbit by the space shuttle in April, 1990. It was named after the American Astronomer Edwin Hubble.
