Hubble Space Telescope, artwork
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in Earth orbit, computer artwork. The Milky Way is in the background. The HST is an astronomical satellite in orbit around Earth. It observes stars, galaxies and other astronomical objects. It measures wavelengths in a range of the electromagnetic spectrum that covers infrared, ultraviolet and visible light. This information enables astronomers to determine the physical characteristics of distant objects. HST was launched by the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990, and orbits at a height of around 600 kilometres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the iconic Hubble Space Telescope (HST) gracefully orbiting our planet, with the majestic Milky Way galaxy serving as a breathtaking backdrop. The HST, an astronomical satellite launched into space in 1990 by the Space Shuttle Discovery, has revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Equipped with advanced technology and cutting-edge optics, this scientific marvel observes celestial objects ranging from stars to galaxies across various wavelengths of light. By capturing infrared, ultraviolet, and visible light emissions from distant cosmic entities, astronomers can unravel their enigmatic physical properties. The HST's vantage point above Earth's atmosphere allows it to avoid atmospheric distortions that hinder ground-based telescopes. This advantage enables scientists to obtain crystal-clear images and gather precise data about these remote objects. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image print created by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about the cosmos. The Hubble Space Telescope stands as a testament to human ingenuity and technological prowess in unlocking the secrets of our vast universe. Let this mesmerizing artwork serve as a reminder that there is so much more waiting to be discovered beyond our own blue planet—a realm where stars twinkle amidst infinite possibilities and where knowledge knows no bounds.
