Scrapbook Entry #2-Telescope images


















The Hubble Space Telescope completes one orbit around the Earth every 96 minutes at approximately 5 miles per second. Hubble has revolutionized the world of astronomy by providing detailed clear views of the Universe, ranging from our own solar system to extremely remote galaxies that were formed not long after the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago. Not only has the Hubble Space Telescope allowed us to receive an outstandingly greater amount of insight and understanding into our world it has also provided us with numerous vibrant images of what is out there. Hubble was first launched in 1990 and has been capturing extraordinary images all along the way, interconnecting science to photography.
