NASA is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the optical telescope “Hubble”. He was put beyond Earth April 24, 1990 using a reusable ship “Discovery”. It is expected that in three years he will be replaced by a new unit, since by the time it expires service.
The scientific value of the “Hubble” is hard to overestimate.
As they note, only thanks to the “Hubble” they were able to determine the exact age of the universe. Also, due to the telescope was able to obtain data on the solar system and the Milky Way, including the location of a giant black hole at the galactic center.
High-resolution “Hubble” and work in Earth orbit, where the clouds do not interfere, allows scientists to understand how stars are born, not only, but also the whole galaxy. Currently in the column date of decay stands period after 2030, as the “Hubble” is still one of the main tools for understanding the cosmos.
