What is Hubble?

The Hubble Space Telescope, or simply Hubble, is one of the most renowned space telescopes in modern astronomy. It orbits outside the Earth’s atmosphere, in a circular orbit around planet Earth at 593 kilometers above sea level, with an orbital period between 96 and 97 minutes.

Named in honor of astronomer Edwin Hubble, was put into orbit on April 24, 1990 on the STS-31 mission as a joint project of NASA and the European Space Agency, inaugurating the Great Observatories program. Hubble can obtain images with an optical resolution greater than 0.04 arcseconds. In addition, being outside the atmosphere avoids the turbulence that it produces and its images are of great quality.
