The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It is named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who is known for his contributions to the field of astronomy, including the discovery that the universe is expanding. The HST is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). It is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute. The HST is equipped with a 2.4-meter (7.9-foot) primary mirror and a suite of scientific instruments that are used to observe a wide range of astronomical objects, including planets, stars, galaxies, and quasars. It has the ability to observe objects in visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light, and it has made many important scientific discoveries since its launch, including the determination of the rate of expansion of the universe and the discovery of dark energy. #planets #universe #documentary
