Eye on the universe : the incredible Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Telescope, named after American astromoner Edwin Hubble, took astronomers, engineers, and other scientists fifteen years to design and build. In the middle of April, 1990 it was at long last ready for its first journey into space. The giant telescope had cost more than $1.6 billion! If the telescope worked, it would be the most powerful telescope ever built and well worth all the labor and money. More fine tuning was necessary as time passed, but over the years amazing photos have been sent showing extraordinary images of a spectacular universe and beyond. The telescope has revealed that galaxies are building up and there are wonders untold. The next and final mission for the Hubble will be for it to deorbit as it has reached the end of its service life. Its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is poised to take us even farther and is designed to reach deeper in space to reveal the wonders and mysteries of the universe which seem truly endless. It is currently scheduled to be launched by 2018.
