What is the Hubble Space Telescope?

The Hubble Space Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope was named after astronomer and scientist Edwin Hubble, who discovered the Big Bang Theory. The Hubble was launched on April 24, 1990 from the space shuttle Discovery. The Hubble was expected to last about 20 years, and so, it's time of service is coming to an end. The Hubble will no longer be maintained by astronauts, and will be replaced by another space telescope sometime in the future.
