This year on 24 April 2020, Hubble Space Telescope is celebrating 30th anniversary, making it the NASA's most valuable and longest-living observatories. For decades the telescope has sent beautiful astronomical images to Earth which has changed our perception of the Universe and the understanding of the cosmos.
The telescope was developed as a partnership program between the European Space Agency and the United States Space Program and was launched in April 1990. The telescope has been named after the famous astronomer Edwin Hubble. The telescope orbits 340 miles above the surface of the Earth. The cameras and spectrographs of the telescope are designed in such a way that they can observe objects as small and nearby as asteroids to distant galaxies.
