THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE WAS PLACED IN ORBIT BY THE SPACE SHUTTLE IN 1990.

SINCE THEN IT HAS PHOTOGRAPHED THE SKY IN AN EFFORT TO RESOLVE SUCH MYSTERIES AS THE SIZE AND AGE OF THE UNIVERSE.  IT HAS UNDERGONE SEVERAL REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS WHILE THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM WAS STILL OPERATING.

NOW THAT THE SHUTTLES ARE NO LONGER FLYING, THE SPACE TELESCOPE IS ENJOYING ITS’ FINAL YEARS OF EXAMINING THE SKY.
