Hubble space telescope is a large, space-based observatory, which has revolutionised astronomy since its launch and operation by the space shuttle Discovery in 1990.

What makes Hubble unique is its high-quality design, which allows itself to self-repair and upgrade with advanced technology. Hubble has made itself one of Nasa’s longest-living and most valuable space-based observatories, sending astronomical images to Earth for decades. Hubble is named in the honour of the trailblazing astronomer Edwin Hubble.

In 2020, the Hubble Space Telescope achieved its 30th year in orbit. And to commemorate such a feat, Nasa celebrated the triumph in a unique way with new images, videos, and documentaries, interactive features, social media events, and much more on the https://www.nasa.gov/content/hubbles-30th-anniversary — the site with everything the 30 years of Hubble has to offer.

Hubbles-30th-anniversary will tell you all about the Hubble Space Telescope and its mesmerising journey far and beyond our earth, through its videos, pictures that Hubble has been contributing over the years. You can further explore “Discoveries”, “Observatory”, “Mission operations” at the left panel on the homepage.
