Hubble has seen galaxies at the edge of the visible universe. It has unlocked a cosmos so vast and filled with wonder that it boggles the mind. The Hubble Telescope has learned how galaxies merge, and found the powerful...

In the mid-1800s, mariners sailing the southern seas navigated at night by a brilliant star in the constellation Carina. The star, named Eta Carinae, was the second brightest star in the sky for more than a decade....

The Hubble Space Telescope has been revealing the secrets of the universe for over 30 years, but it turns out Hubble has some secrets of its own!



The question is: What has Hubble...

Just as cars need maintenance on Earth, sometimes spacecraft need fixing, too. 🛠️ When astronauts work on spacecraft in orbit, it's called space servicing.
