The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space-based observatory launched by NASA in 1990, named after astronomer Edwin Hubble. It orbits Earth above the distorting effects of the atmosphere, providing high-resolution images and data across a wide range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet to near-infrared. Hubble has revolutionized our understanding of the universe, contributing to discoveries in cosmology, galactic evolution, stellar astronomy, and planetary science. It remains one of the most iconic and productive scientific instruments in the history of astronomy.
